Learn these first — this section will not make sense without them.

Nothing in the algebra book is a prerequisite for this section.

What this touches

Algebra that turns up here. Not a blocker, but this is where you will see it used.

  • Faraday's-law electrolysis problems (‘100,000 A through a melt for 1.00 h, 85% yield — what mass of metal forms?’) are rate × time = amount word problems, structurally identical to the work-rate and mixture problems algebra §2.4 trains — charge Q = It stands in for distance = rate × time, and stoichiometry then converts charge to moles of metal.
