Principles of Chemistry II 4 s.h.
Continuation of CHEM:1110; colligative properties of solutions, chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, chemical bonding, aspects of industrial chemistry, nuclear chemistry; lecture, discussion, laboratory.
This course is a continuation of CHEM:1110. Course content includes solution properties which depend on concentration, chemical equilibrium and the rules governing solubility and acid/base chemistry, thermodynamics, rates of chemical reactions, a more sophisticated view of atomic and molecular structure and bonding, oxidation-reduction reactions, electrochemistry, coordination compounds, nuclear chemistry, and a survey of the production and use of inorganic and organic chemicals produced in the U.S. Course format consists of three weekly lectures by a professor, one discussion a week led by a TA, and a laboratory component comprised of case-study and laboratory experiment sessions meeting in alternate weeks. The lecture/discussion/exam format is similar to CHEM:1110. The final exam is generally comprehensive over CHEM:1120 topics. This course is intended for science and pre-professional major or anyone planning to take two years of chemistry.
Note: The required course fee includes access to the electronic homework system and an on-line textbook for six months. It is not necessary to separately purchase a license for the electronic homework system. Optionally, students may also purchase a hard copy of the textbook but this is not required.
