CHEM& 162 General Chemistry with Lab II

5 credits

This course meets the Natural Science  with lab general education distribution requirement.

Prerequisites: CHEM& 161  

Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:

• Describe the exchange of energy in the form of heat and/or work at both the molecular and macroscopic levels
• Calculate the change in enthalpy for a chemical reaction or physical processes
• Use the kinetic-molecular theory to explain the behavior of gases from a molecular perspective and apply the ideal gas law
• Apply stoichiometry to calculate relative amounts of reactants and products in a gaseous reaction
• Use van der Waals equation to predict gas properties under non-ideal conditions and describe the difference in real gas and ideal gas
• Predict relative Lattice Energies for ionic compounds
• Describe intermolecular forces and chemical bonds and how they influence physical properties and phase transitions
• Classify different crystalline solids and determine crystalline solid structure by X-ray crystallography
• Predict whether a solute and solvent will mix to form a solution and calculate the resulting changes in the colligative properties
• Apply the basic principles of collision theory to explain the energetics of a chemical reaction and determine the factors affecting reaction rate
• Formulate an experimental rate law using the initial rate method or the integrated rate law method and judge the reasonableness of a proposed reaction mechanism
• Develop laboratory practices for conducting experiments and reporting experimental results within the context of the scientific method

• Use the scientific method to analyze natural phenomena and acquire skills to evaluate the accuracy of data/information relative to the natural world
• Identify and locate appropriate resources to answer questions concerning living systems and/or matter 
• Apply principles of science in our daily lives
