Master General Chemistry II

This course is designed for anyone preparing to take the second semester of general chemistry at their college or university!

I'm currently a medical student who was once in your shoes during my undergraduate journey. I understand how frustrating chemistry can be—especially if it doesn’t click right away. On top of that, the grade you earn in general chemistry is crucial. For this reason, I’ve invested hundreds of hours into creating this course to ensure that, after completing it, you’ll be sure to ace gen-chem II this semester !!

Over the past five years, I’ve worked with over 1,000 chemistry students, dedicating countless hours to teaching and mentoring. My goal, both in teaching and in creating this course, was to present the material in a way that even someone with no chemistry background could understand. I’ve made sure to emphasize the concepts and problems that tend to confuse students the most, so you won’t get tripped up this semester!

This course is built on two core principles:

1. Chemistry should be learned in small pieces

I’ve structured the course into 13 learning modules that break down the most important general chemistry concepts into smaller, more manageable parts. I’ve also focused on highlighting small details that will help you gain a deep understanding of the material. The modules include:

• Intermolecular forces

• Heating curves

• Vapor pressure

• Colligative properties

• Reaction rates

• Reaction mechanisms

• Equilibrium

• Acids and bases

• Buffers

• Solubility

• Entropy and Gibbs free energy

• Redox reactions

• Electrochemistry

2. Practice makes perfect

After each lecture, you’ll answer embedded practice questions to ensure you’ve grasped the main concepts from the video. These questions aren’t designed for memorization of specific reactions. Instead, they encourage you to think critically about what you’ve just learned. Many of the questions involve hypothetical reactions, like A → B, to test your conceptual understanding.

Additionally, there are two practice exams covering material from the entire course. These exams are timed and designed to help you practice applying multiple concepts to solve the more complex problems you’ll encounter in General Chemistry II.

If you master the material and successfully answer the associated practice questions, I can confidently guarantee your success in General Chemistry II this semester!
