CHEM 2204 - General Chemistry II*

4 Credits
Continuation of CHEM 1204 - General Chemistry I* . This course provides students with the fundamental laws, theories, and problem-solving skills associated with properties of solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, acid/base equilibria, second and third laws of thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and main group/transition metal chemistry.

Lab Fee.

Prerequisite: CHEM 1204 - General Chemistry I*  passed with a grade of “C” or better, or instructor consent.

Course Level Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1. State the characteristics of liquids and solids, including phase diagrams. (GEO 2, 3)
2. Use laboratory equipment to properly conduct experiments. (GEO 4)
3. Articulate the importance of intermolecular interactions and predict trends in physical properties. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
4. Analyze and perform calculations with the thermodynamic functions, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. (GEO 2, 3)
5. Determine the rate of a reaction and its dependence on concentration, time, and temperature. (GEO 2, 3)
6. Identify and balance oxidation-reduction equations and solve redox titration problems. (GEO 2, 3)
7. Identify the characteristics of acids, bases, and salts, and solve problems based on their quantitative relationships. (GEO 2, 3)
8. Apply the principles of equilibrium to aqueous systems using LeChatelier’s Principle to predict the effects of concentration, pressure, and temperature changes on equilibrium mixtures. (GEO 2, 3)
9. Discuss the construction and operation of galvanic and electrolytic electrochemical cells and determine standard and non‐standard cell potentials. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
10. Use laboratory equipment to properly conduct experiments. (GEO 4)
