CHEM 11200 - General Chemistry II

Course Credit: 1
(BCMB, BIOL, NEUR)
GENERAL CHEMISTRY II Fundamental facts, concepts, and theories central to chemistry are examined. The topics include VSEPR, valence bond, and molecular orbital theories, intermolecular forces, solutions, chemical kinetics, reaction mechanisms, equilibria (chemical, acid-base, aqueous, ionic), thermodynamics (enthalpy, entropy, free energy), and electrochemistry. Emphasis will be placed on problem-solving and the development of critical thinking skills. The laboratory focuses on fundamental techniques, data manipulation, notebook and reporting skills. Three class hours and one three-hour laboratory period per week. Prerequisite(s): CHEM-11100, minimum grade of C- to apply to CHEM 11100; Co-Requisite: CHEM-11200L Annually. [MNS, Q, QL]
