| About The Provider |
Alison is one of the world’s largest free
learning platforms for education and skills training. It is a for-profit social
enterprise dedicated to making it possible for anyone, to study anything,
anywhere, at any time, for free online, at any subject level. Through our
mission we are a catalyst for positive social change, creating opportunity,
prosperity, and equality for everyone. Alison was founded in Galway, Ireland, in 2007
and has grown organically to become a major force in free online education and
skills training. Today, with more than 13 million learners in 195 countries,
Alison is changing how the world learns and up-skills. They are committed to equality and access to
education and skills training irrespective of gender, geography, economic
status or any other barriers that can so often stunt potential. So they offer a
range of free courses that meet the many diverse needs of our learners. The UN
declared in Article 26 of the 1946 Declaration of Human Rights that “Education
shall be free…”. This statement will always inspire us. Alison was founded by Alison CEO, Mike Feerick. Mike is a businessman, but one with a
difference. He believes in social impact, and that you can build a financially
successful business focused on meeting a huge global social need, making
education and skills training more accessible for everyone. He invites anyone
who believes that too, to support the Alison mission.
Alison is free of charge to you. But it’s still
a business – albeit a socially-focused one. We are a social enterprise making
our money through advertising, merchandise, and the sale of Certificates and
Diplomas, should a graduate choose to buy one. |
Molecules are made up of atoms and are the smallest particle in a chemical element or compound. This course will introduce you to the fundamentals of molecules and their composition. You will study molecular formulas, which are essentially the actual number of atoms in a molecule, and empirical formulas which tell you what people have observed. You will also study the mole and Avogadro's number which is equal to 6.023 × 10 to the power of 23.
You will then study molecular formulas and empirical formulas from the mass composition and learn how to balance chemical equations. This course will also discuss stoichiometry which is the study or the calculation of the relationships between the different molecules in a reaction. You will also learn about the limiting reagent which is basically the reactant that produces the least amount of product. You will also study how to solve mass composition problems.
Learning how to convert between atomic mass and grams using Avogadro’s number or the Mole is one of the important topics you will study in this course. Once you have mastered this, you will be able to easily work out ratios and weights of molecules. You will also learn how to balance chemical equations, and get viable chemical reactions by balancing the reactants within equations.
