Electrochemistry

Harvard University

To understand electrochemistry, you will combine the concepts of Gibbs Free Energy, electron flow, and chemical transformation. In this course, you will explore key concepts of acid-base reactions and their relation to chemical equilibrium. You will learn the significance of electrochemistry, understanding how electrical, chemical, and mechanical energy are linked.

Energy and Thermodynamics

Harvard University

In this course, you will cover three core concepts — energy, atoms and molecular structure, and thermodynamics. The course will help you to understand how energy flows through an economic structure. You will gain a deeper knowledge of the consumption of fossil fuels, conservation of energy, and, ultimately, how to build a sustainable energy future.

Entropy and Equilibria

Harvard University

In this course, you will learn how energy and entropy in combination determine how these processes operate spontaneously, without the intervention of human influence. Applying your understanding of entropy to various thermodynamic systems, you will gain insight into equilibrium states and how entropy changes based on different settings.
