5.111 Principles of Chemical Science
5.111 Principles of Chemical Science (Fall 2014, MIT OCW). Instructor: Professor Catherine Drennan. This course provides an introduction to the chemistry of biological, inorganic, and organic molecules. The emphasis is on basic principles of atomic and molecular electronic structure, thermodynamics, acid-base and redox equilibria, chemical kinetics, and catalysis. One year of high school chemistry is the expected background for this freshman-level course.
Lecture 35 - Applying Chemical Principles. In the final clicker competition of the semester, students are challenged to explain a biological process using the basic chemical principles that they have learned over the course of the semester. The process is the biological fixation of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by a micro-organism. Match your wits and knowledge and see how you score compared to the winning group of MIT students.
