Free Tutorials Available for UTME Candidates Writing Chemistry

Chemistry is the branch of science concerned with the substances of which matter is composed, the investigation of their properties and reactions, and the use of such reactions to form new substances. 

The subject is quite broad and you can see the UTME syllabus here. 

However, here are a few tutorials that students might find helpful:

Chemistry 101: Introducing the Atom

Topics explored include laboratory skills, the atom, atomic models, atomic mass and diameter, structure of the atom, isotopes, electronic configurations and compounds.

Chemistry 102: Matter and the Periodic Table

Topics explored include materials, mixtures, pure substances, formulae of substances, metals, metalloids, non-metals, the periodic table and arrangement of the elements.

Chemistry 103: States of Matter

Topics explored include states of matter, kinetic molecular theory, motion of particles, ideal gas laws, ideal gas equations, intermolecular forces and the chemistry of water.

Chemistry 104: Physical and Chemical Change

Topics explored include physical and chemical change, conservation of atoms and mass in reactions, law of constant composition, and balancing chemical equations.

Chemistry 105: Reactions in Aqueous Solution

Topics explored include ions in aqueous solution, electrolytes, ionization and conductivity, precipitation reactions as well as other types of reactions.

Chemistry 106: Quantitative Aspects of Chemical Change

Topics explored include atomic mass and the mole, composition, amount of substance, stoichiometric calculations, gases and solutions, and volume relationships.

Chemistry 107: Bonding and Atomic Combinations

Topics explored include what chemical bonding is, Lewis structures, covalent, ionic and metallic bonding, writing formulae, molecular shapes, electronegativity.

Chemistry 108: Energy and Chemical Reactions

Topics explored include energy changes in chemical reactions, exothermic and endothermic reactions, activation energy and activated complex and reaction rates.

Chemistry 109: Chemical Equilibrium

Topics explored include what chemical equilibrium is, reversible reactions, the equilibrium constant, Le Chatelier’s principle and using the Le Chatelier’s principle.

Chemistry 110: Acid-Base and Redox Reactions

Topics explored include acids and bases, acid-base reactions, redox reactions, oxidation and reduction, pH scale, pH calculations, titrations and titration calculations.

Chemistry 111: Electrochemical Reactions

Topics explored include writing redox and half-reaction equations, galvanic and electrolytic cells, standard electrode potentials, and applications of electrochemistry.

Chemistry 112: Organic Molecules

Topics explored include organic molecular structures, IUPAC naming and formulae, physical properties and structure of organic molecules, plastics and polymers.

Chemistry 113: Introducing the Chemical Industry

Topics explored include, nutrients and the chemical industry, fertilizers, the fertilizer industry, alternative sources of fertilizers, fertilizers and the environment.

These tutorials do not cover all the topics indicated in the UTME syllabus but we hope they prove helpful.

All the best!
