AS Thermodynamics and Kinetics Calculations - Part 2

While revising energetics and kinetics, it’s important to reinforce your knowledge of physics and maths.

This 6-lesson course aims to give you some pointers to and some practice in those bits of maths and physics that come up frequently in A-level Chemistry. It also shows you the calculating skills you need to practise so that you can find answers quickly and check they are reasonable.
