CHM 152 - General Chemistry 2

 
Description
This course focuses on intermolecular forces, properties of solids and liquids, solution theory, acid base theory, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, chemical thermodynamics and electrochemistry. Laboratory includes experiments related to the aforementioned topics and introduction to the qualitative analysis of inorganic ions.

1. List and discuss the major intermolecular forces and use them in conjunction with kinetics molecular theory explain the properties of solids and liquids.
2. Identify the types of solids and basic crystal systems.
3. Interpret a phase diagram.
4. State and apply the theories of solutions.
5. Calculate the concentration of solutions in molarity, molality, mole fraction, or percent by mass and be able to interconvert between them.
6. List the colligative properties of solutions and perform calculations involving them.
7. Derive and apply rate laws from experimental data and explain the result in terms of theories of kinetics.
8. State and apply the principle of Le Chatlelier, calculate the value of and equilibrium constant from experimental data, and use equilibrium constants to predict quantities of all species at equilibrium.
9. State and apply the Arrenhius, Bronstead-Lowry and Lewis acid-base theories.
10. Perform equilibrium calculations for acids and bases, buffer systems, and solubility product calculations.
11. Discuss the fundamental laws of thermodynamics and perform thermodynamics calculations to predict the spontaneity of a chemical process.
12. Discuss and apply the principles of electrochemistry including calculation of cell potentials and thermodynamics values, and equilibrium constants.
