CHEM 1030 General Chemistry II
This is the second semester of a two-semester course dealing with the general principles of chemistry as related to inorganic and organic systems. This course sequence is intended for those majoring in science or engineering. Specific course topics include: critical thinking, chemical reactions, equilibria, solubility, acid- base, oxidation-reduction, kinetics, electrochemistry and thermochemistry. Other topics may be added if time permits. Qualitative and quantitative analytical laboratory techniques are used. The student taking this course are encouraged to concurrently enroll in CHEM 1055 Chemical Problem Solving II. Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 1020; MATH 1400 highly recommended. (3 lect., 3 lab)
