Principles of Chemistry II and LAB – CHEM 1212K

Fall 2024

Description

The continuation of a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Topics to be covered include intermolecular forces, properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, chemical thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Laboratory exercises supplement the lecture material.

Learning Objectives

After completing this course, students will be able to:

• Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the following topics: intermolecular forces, liquids, and solids, properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base equilibria, chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry.
• Use correct chemical nomenclature, structural symbols, and terminology to accurately communicate in standard English chemical principles, theories, and processes.
• Employ critical thinking and systematic methods to solve problems, including conceptual and quantitative problems.
• Demonstrate an awareness of the role of chemistry in everyday life.
• Apply the rules of laboratory safety.
• Collect and analyze scientific data, formulate appropriate conclusions from data analyses, and communicate findings.
