Introduction

  • This session is focused on Class 11th Physical Chemistry.
  • The session covers six chapters: Mole Concept, Redox Reactions, Atomic Structure, Thermodynamics, Chemical Equilibrium, and Ionic Equilibrium.
  • Total of 12 questions expected from these chapters in exams.
  • The Marathon will be divided into two sessions to cover all topics thoroughly.

Chapters and Expected Questions

  1. Mole Concept - 2 questions
  2. Redox Reactions - 2 questions
  3. Atomic Structure - 2 questions
  4. Thermodynamics - 3 questions
  5. Chemical Equilibrium - 1 question
  6. Ionic Equilibrium - 2 questions

Study Plan

  • Each concept will be taught from basics.
  • After the marathon, there will be extra problem practice sessions.
  • Practical chemistry will be covered in a separate 2-hour session.

Session Guidelines

  • Students are encouraged to make short notes for important points.
  • At the end of the session, a PDF of the notes will be shared.
  • Breaks will be provided after every 2-3 hours.

Key Concepts Covered

Mole Concept

  • Foundation of Physical Chemistry.
  • Understanding of AMU (Atomic Mass Unit): Defined as 1/12th the mass of a Carbon-12 atom.
  • Atomic mass, molecular mass, and molar mass definitions and calculations.
  • Practice problems on mole conversions and stoichiometry.
  • Importance of the mole concept in understanding chemical reactions.

Redox Reactions

  • Oxidation states and how to determine them.
  • Oxidizing and reducing agents.
  • Balancing redox reactions using oxidation number method.
  • Importance of redox reactions in chemistry.
  • Equivalent mass and its calculation.

Thermodynamics

  • Basic concepts: System, surroundings, boundary.
  • Types of processes: Isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric, isochoric, cyclic.
  • First Law of Thermodynamics and its applications.
  • Internal energy and enthalpy changes.
  • Calculation of work done in various thermodynamic processes.
  • Understanding of heat capacity, specific heat, and molar heat capacity.

Engagement Recommendations

  • Students asked to interact through chat for confirmation and queries.
  • Emphasis on maintaining high energy and focus throughout the marathon.

Conclusion

  • A comprehensive review of key physical chemistry concepts for Class 11.
  • Encouragement for active participation and query resolution during breaks.

This session is instrumental in solidifying fundamental principles of Physical Chemistry crucial for examinations. The notes and PDFs shared will serve as vital study resources for students.
