Applied General Chemistry 2

Catalog description

This course constitutes the second semester of the two-term sequence of Chemistry I II. As both a general education requirement and major’s course, CHM2096 serves to teach the scientific method, skills for problem solving, general chemistry knowledge, and a connection to the principles that govern the natural world. Students will acquire knowledge of chemical equilibria, acid-base and solubility equilibria, entropy, free energy, electrochemical devices, solution dynamics, and descriptive inorganic and organic chemistry; all are taught in an engineering case-study context. Students participate in class discussions throughout the semester to reflect on pertinent topics and apply mathematical knowledge and reasoning to solve chemical problems. This course affords students the ability to critically examine and evaluate the principles of the scientific method, model construction, and use the scientific method to explain natural experiences and phenomena.
