Chemistry Olympiad - a Problem-Solving Approach: Equilibria

Book excerpt: This book is part of a series of Chemistry Olympiad - A problem-solving approach. This book aims to provide a problem-solving approach to the questions in Chemistry Olympiad, a different take to Chemistry Olympiad as opposed to the routine memorisation and heavy content provided in other books. I plan to make a series of these books for various other chapters such as kinetics, organic chemistry, inorganic elucidation etc. if this book gains any form of traction.The books would be separated into 3 main chapters: Fundamentals, Problem-solving approach, Tips & tricks. The first chapter will provide you with the necessary knowledge to solve the problems you will face in Chemistry Olympiad. In the next chapter, we will go through some techniques used to solve problems. There would be problems of which you may choose to do before reading the solutions in this chapter. The solutions will include guided techniques to tackling such problems along with in depth analysis and explanation of the questions. Lastly, the final chapter, would comprise of tips I have picked up along the way which will help increase your speed in doing problems and general advice.I graduated from NUS High (Singapore) in 2019 with High Distinction with Honours in Mathematics and Chemistry, and Majors in Biology and Physics. I participated in the International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) representing Singapore in 2019 and attained a gold medal when I was 18 years old.The idea for the book came out of boredom due to COVID-19. ㈵0;
