CHEM112

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to chemistry for science majors. Chemistry is a mature science that continues to expand and evolve in step with recent developments in science and technology. This course introduces students to the language and theoretical foundations of chemistry. Students will learn to conceptualize abstract ideas about atoms and molecules and relate them to observations in the laboratory. Students will perform experiments that put into practice the ideas discussed in lecture. A continuation of Fundamentals of Chemistry I, some of the topics to be discussed include: States of Matter, Solutions, Rates of Reactions, Chemical Equilibria, Acids and Bases, Thermodynamics, Electrochemistry and Nuclear Chemistry. The depth and breadth of the topics covered meet or exceed the standards of the American Chemical Society.
