Chemistry II with Lab ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Chemistry II with Lab is the second course of the two-term sequence in general chemistry for science majors. The course will examine the characteristics of aqueous solutions, followed by the principles and applications of kinetics and chemical equilibrium. Specific chemical reactions will be explored, including acid-base neutralization, precipitation, and solubility. Attention will then focus on thermodynamics and electrochemistry. After introducing the basics of nuclear chemistry, heavy isotopes, and radiation, the trends of reactivity and characteristics of metals and non-metals will be presented, followed by an overview of the basic chemistry of organic compounds. Students will gain further experience in basic laboratory techniques. This course uses a mandatory hands-on lab kit to provide students an authentic laboratory experience. The kit (in addition to the textbook) will add an additional cost to the Course Materials. See the Learning Contract/Syllabus for specific details. This course contains elements which rely on vision and motor skills to complete. If you have a visual or motor impairment and are considering registering for this course, it is recommended that you reach out to Accessibility Resources and Services ([email protected]) in advance of registration to determine if this course is appropriate and what alternatives may be available. Prerequisites: Chemistry I with Lab ( CHEM 1205 ) or equivalent.
