4 credits

This is the second half of a one-year course that emphasizes the fundamental principles and laws of chemistry. There are three hours of class and one laboratory period per week. (Learning Goals:Q;Distribution Reqs:Natural Sciences)

Learning Goals

(1) understand the importance of various types of intermolecular forces andtheir relationship to the physical properties of substances(2) understand the factors which determine the rate of a chemical reaction anduse experimental data to determine the rate law of a reaction(3) understand the fundamental concepts of chemical equilibrium as they pertainto a variety of chemical systems such as gas phase, reactions, acid/basereactions, solubility/precipitation and electrochemical reactions(4) understand the second law of thermodynamics, the relationship betweenenthalpy, entropy and free energy, and the relationship of the second law tochemical equilibrium(5) understand fundamental concepts of electrochemistry(6) understand fundamental concepts of nuclear chemistry, including, bindingenergy, half-life, fission and fusion(7) apply the above concepts in a variety of qualitative and quantitative situations
