CHM 1200 - General Chemistry II

4 Credit(s) Hours: 6 hrs.

Second semester of a two-semester lecture and laboratory sequence intended for science and engineering majors. Lecture topics include: introduction to kinetics, physical and chemical equilibrium, acid-base and solubility equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, coordination chemistry, and introductions to nuclear, main group, and organic chemistry. Laboratory: An experimental approach to chemical sciences with emphasis on developing fundamental, reproducible laboratory technique and a goal of understanding and achieving precision and accuracy in laboratory experiments. Proper use of laboratory equipment and standard wet chemical methods are practiced. Areas of investigations include acid-base, precipitation, and reduction-oxidation equilibrium, spectroscopy, qualitative analysis, electrochemistry, and chemical synthesis.

Student must complete CHM 1200 Laboratory - Initial Student Safety Instruction & Certification prior to the first laboratory meeting. See Department of Physical Sciences website Chemistry Laboratory Safety section for information.
