Features: As a fundamental course in implementing chemical education in higher education, university chemistry plays a significant role in refining students' knowledge structure and promoting quality education. It applies chemical theories, perspectives, and methods to examine socially relevant issues such as the environment, energy, materials, and life sciences. By combining chemical theoretical methods with engineering and technological viewpoints, it analyzes and understands related problems in engineering technology and social phenomena from a chemical perspective. This book is divided into sixteen chapters. Chapters 1 to 4 and Chapter 7 focus on the basic principles of chemical reactions and chemical reactions as the main line, introducing fundamental knowledge of chemical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, discussing the direction, limits, and energy relationships of chemical reactions. It reveals the intrinsic connection between the microscopic structure and properties of substances, and based on chemical equilibrium, it explores acid-base reactions, precipitation reactions, redox reactions, and coordination reactions. At the same time, it interweaves energy, chemical power sources, and metal corrosion. Chapters 5 and 6 take the structure and properties of substances as the main line, using chemical theories to introduce the structure and characteristics of atoms, molecules, and crystals from a microscopic perspective and their relationship with periodicity. Chapters 8 and 9 introduce element chemistry, including s-block, p-block, ds-block, d-block, and f-block elements. Chapters 10 to 13 take qualitative and quantitative analysis as the main line, exploring errors in the analysis process and the correct evaluation of analysis results, with a focus on chemical analysis. It discusses acid-base titration, coordination titration, redox titration, precipitation titration, gravimetric analysis, and photometric analysis. Chapter 14 selectively introduces some modern instrumental analysis methods, while Chapters 15 and 16 cover common separation and enrichment techniques in analytical chemistry and examples of complex substance analysis. This book fully adopts the national legal unit system, with summaries, review questions, and exercises at the end of each chapter, as well as appendices and references at the back. This book can serve as a textbook for university chemistry, physics and chemistry, chemical engineering, and related engineering majors.
