Overview
A continuation from CHEM 113/3.0. A quantitative treatment of chemical phenomena and materials. Critical thinking and problem solving are emphasized. Topics include atomic thermodynamics, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, kinetics, electrochemistry.
Learning Outcomes
In addition to developing an appreciation for Chemistry as a field of study, students will specifically be able to:
- Describe equilibrium theory and manipulate equilibrium conditions, calculate K and understand how activities are used in the ICE table
- Describe the second and third laws of thermodynamics, work with and manipulate equations related to entropy and Gibbs energy changes in systems under standard and non-standard conditions.
- Recognize different types of acids and bases, understand how to manipulate acid/base systems using the ICE table, know the concepts of strong and weak acids and bases.
- Recognize and calculate first, second and third order rate laws and understand how to manipulate systems to study the kinetics of systems and reaction mechanisms
- Describe the basic concepts of Oxidation/reduction, electrochemistry and calculate the cell potential of standard and non-standard systems
