CHE 1515 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY II


credits: 3.0
This is the second of a two-term introductory chemistry course designed for the science major. The purpose of this course is to give students extensive training on the concepts encountered in the basic chemical sciences. Students will learn how to apply analytical thinking and problem solving techniques to areas of chemistry including: thermodynamics, properties of liquids, solids and solutions, reaction kinetics, equilibria, acids, bases and electrochemistry. Completion of this course will prepare students for more advanced chemistry courses. Objectives: A) Demonstrate a basic understanding of reaction kinetics and system equilibria; B) Demonstrate a basic understanding of acid-base chemistry; C) Apply fundamental principles encountered in the chemical sciences toward the examination, evaluation and solution of complex chemical problems; D) Employ basic mathematical concepts to solve complex chemical problems. Method of Instruction: Lecture, active group discussion and problem-solving in small groups as well as independently at the board. Method of Evaluation: Grading for this course will be based on homework (10%), quizzes (30%), and exams (60%).

Prerequisite(s): CHE 1505 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY I 
Co-Requisite(s): MUST BE TAKEN WITH CHE 1515L  LAB.
