Everything you need to crush chemistry with confidence Chemistry All-in-One For Dummies arms you with all the no-nonsense, how-to content you’ll need to pass your chemistry class with flying colors. You’ll find tons of practical examples and practice problems, and you’ll get access to an online quiz for every chapter.
It’s alive! It’s alive! (Thanks to biochemistry, that is.) Biochemistry is the science of the chemical processes that allow for…well…life. If it moves, breathes, eats, or sleeps, biochemistry can probably explain how. So, it stands to reason that the fundamentals of biochemistry can get a little complicated.

Organic Chemistry II is one of the toughest courses you can take. Surviving isn’t easy — you probably know that from your Organic Chemistry I class. Preparation is key: If you study the basics of organic chemistry the right way, prepare for your tests, and know your aromatic systems, you’re off to a great start!

During the first year of high school chemistry or the first semester of college chemistry, all the terms, units of measurement, and atoms, molecules, elements, and compounds may seem a bit overwhelming. The good news: Your Chem I class doesn't have to be torture. This handy Cheat Sheet provides some basic information you can refer to regularly to make your chemistry class just a tiny bit easier.

Studying amino acids (the building blocks of proteins, which humans need to grow and develop) is essential in biochemistry. The four subgroups of amino acids are nonpolar, polar and uncharged, acidic, and basic. This Cheat Sheet provides a handy, quick reference to these four subgroups.Biochemistry's basic amino acidsAmino acids are important to the study of biochemistry because they’re the building blocks of proteins found in all cells.

You have to have a good understanding of all sorts of problems to successfully get through a chemistry class. Many of those problems require you to follow a certain process to get to the right solution: Perhaps it’s a series of rules you must follow, a conversion you need to use, or a formula you have to apply.

Chemistry II is more than fires and smelly explosions. Chemistry II is more about solving calculations. In fact, Chemistry II has a lot more calculations and math than your Chemistry I class did. In your Chemistry II class, you need to master several formulas so you can calculate different mathematical problems, ranging from kinetics, different types of equilibrium, thermochemistry, and electrochemistry.

The equilibrium constant describes the relationship between the amounts of the reactants and the products at a certain temperature. You'll need to know the equilibrium constant as you study Chemistry II. For the general equilibrium:
the equilibrium constant expression is:
In the expression, K is the equilibrium constant, the subscript c indicates this constant is expressed in terms of concentrations (not pressures, p), the brackets (as usual) stand for molar (moles/L) concentration, the uppercase letters are the reactant and product species, and the lowercase superscripts are the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation.
