As I was studying SAT Chemistry last week, I first encountered the chemistry aspect of thermodynamics. I was quite fascinated by the Gibb's free energy and spontaneity of reactions. So I thought of doing the option Thermody in A level Chemistry.
I borrowed some notes from Jian Chao, and was very confident that I could finally rid myself of the trouble to memorise almost 100 page of food chem. However, the option proved much more difficult than I initially thought. The concept and equations are very confusing. I began to doubt if I can master it before A level and do better than my food chemistry.
My chem tutor also warned me of the danger of choosing thermody. She even told me past year students had done so and did quite badly. What shall I do now? Am I digging my own grave or paving a path for an A?
