CHE 112 - General Chemistry 2

4 credit hours - Three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory weekly; one term.
This course meets the Biological and Physical Sciences General Education Requirement.

Study the fundamental principles and quantitative aspects of chemical equilibrium, acid-base chemistry and acid-base equilibria, solubility equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, basic concepts in nuclear chemistry and an introduction to organic chemistry nomenclature and structure. Laboratory work applies theoretical principles presented in the lecture and includes: data collection and analysis, basic laboratory techniques and use of chemical instrumentation; use of chemical literature and databases, use of a laboratory notebook to record data and results, methods of qualitative analysis, and written communication of results and conclusions in the form of lab reports. Lab fee $55.
