Loved General Chem, but not so much Organic what's next?

AI Thread Summary
For students seeking chemistry courses that emphasize mathematical calculations, Quantitative/Analytical Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, and Inorganic Chemistry are recommended as they align well with the interests of those who enjoyed General Chemistry. These courses not only involve significant calculations but also enhance understanding of Organic Chemistry concepts. Additionally, they incorporate practical applications such as chromatographic behavior and extractions, making them appealing for those who appreciate a math-heavy approach in chemistry.

i really liked Gen. Chem b/c it involved calculations and i miss that, what's the next Chem course I can take that is heavy in Math in Chem?

also, i understand and know most of the things that is expected from a 1st yr Organic student, it's just not that appealing to me.

Physical chem. most chemistry students hate it because it involves calcualtions!

What you say is not surprising. You will enjoy Quantitative/Analytical, Physical, and Inorganic chemistry as much as or more than you enjoyed General Chemistry. In fact, these other courses can also help you understand some of Organic Chemistry a little better. A good amount of calculational activity can be applied to chromatographic behavior and exctractions, too.
 
I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
