This is the third quarter of college-level General Chemistry. General Chemistry is appropriate for students on science, engineering, pre-med, and similar pathways. This course covers chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and selected topics in inorganic and organic chemistry.

Outcomes
  • Students apply principles of equilibrium, thermodynamics, and kinetics to chemical systems.
  • Students solve quantitative problems involving acids and bases, buffers, solubility, and electrochemistry.
  • Students interpret graphical and experimental data such as titration curves and kinetic plots.
  • Students explain spontaneous processes using concepts of energy, entropy, and free energy.
  • Students analyze laboratory data for accuracy and reliability and draw valid conclusions.
  • Students communicate scientific results effectively using appropriate chemical terminology and representations.
