AP Unit 9: Thermodynamics and Electrochemistry

Find these readings by topic

This earlier reading list remains available with its complete tasks. The current book places these resources in the following topic chapters:

• States of matter and gases →

  Explain bulk properties, phase arrangements and gas behavior with particle models whose assumptions and controlled variables are explicit.

• Solutions and solubility →

  Explain what is dissolved, how particle counts represent concentration, and how interactions and later equilibrium conditions determine solubility.

• Reaction rates and mechanisms →

  Use controlled rate evidence to test proposed molecular pathways, keeping concentration sensitivity, barriers and thermodynamic favorability distinct.

• Chemical equilibrium →

  Use dynamic particle reasoning and Q/K bookkeeping to predict equilibrium composition, disturbances and dissolution without confusing amount with rate.

• Entropy, free energy, and chemical change →

  Combine matter and energy dispersal with enthalpy and composition to explain chemical favorability, equilibrium and physically connected energy coupling.

• Redox and electrochemistry →

  Balance electron transfer, distinguish the ionic and electronic paths in cells, and connect stated cell conditions and charge to chemical amounts.
