Chemistry - Principles of Chemistry 2

Principles of Chemistry 2 (CHEM 1152)

Total Credits: 5
Lecture Credits: 4.00
Lab Credits: 1.00

Description: This course is a continuation of CHEM 1151: Principles of Chemistry I and covers more advanced inorganic chemistry topics including equilibria, acid/base/buffer equilibria, thermodynamics, oxidation/reduction, nuclear and organic chemistry. The required on-campus laboratory meets three hours per week. The laboratory experiments illustrate concepts covered in the lecture material, emphasize experimental techniques and use computer assisted data acquisition and manipulation. The lecture/theory portion of the course is currently offered only on-campus.

Topical Outline:

Learning Outcomes:
1. 1. Qualitatively describe colligative processes for solutions, interconvert between solution concentration units and quantitatively determine solution based colligative changes
2. 2. Define the chemical reaction rate, describe how it is affected by physical/chemical modifications and calculate new reaction rate parameters for single and multi-step reaction mechanisms
3. 3. Apply fundamental equilibrium concepts to qualitatively/quantitatively determine changes in acid/base, buffer, complex ion and solubility equilibria
4. 4. Describe the factors affecting chemical spontaneity and calculate entropy, enthalpy and free energy changes for chemical reactions
5. 5. Diagram electrochemical processes, calculate cell potentials and qualitatively/quantitatively determine physical and thermodynamic changes that are taking place during cell operation
6. 6. Name simple organic compounds utilizing IUPAC nomenclature conventions, identify molecular isomers and predict products for simple organic reactions
