CHE 1102 - Introductory Chemistry II: Chemical Reactivity

The second half of the two-semester, introductory chemistry sequence is designed primarily for those students interested in majoring in the sciences.  The course starts with an overview of the physical properties of solids, liquids and gases and how they can be interpreted using kinetic molecular theory.  Major topics also include an introduction to chemical kinetics, the principles of chemical equilibrium, and chemical thermodynamics.  Finally, a detailed study of two important classes of reactions, acid–base and reduction-oxidation, will be covered.  In the laboratory, students explore gases, solutions, kinetics, and equilibrium, using conventional and instrumental techniques, applying their skills in a problem-solving environment.

 
Course includes a three-hour laboratory.
