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.

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 acid and base equilibrium constant expressions describe the relationship between the amounts of reactants and products in aqueous acid-base systems. For the following general weak-acid equilibrium:
the equilibrium constant expression is:
For a general weak-base equilibrium:
the equilibrium constant expression is:
The concentration of water (or any pure liquid or solvent or solid) does appear in the equilibrium constant expression.
