CHE104 General Chemistry 2

This course is a continuation of General Chemistry 1. Topics include: intermolecular forces as applied to condensed phases of matter: solids and liquids, solution properties including colligative properties, chemical equilibrium, acid-base theory/Brensted-Lowry reactions/acid-base equilibria including hydrolysis and buffers, thermodynamics/enthalpy/entropy/Gibbs free energy/link to equilibria, electrochemistry, and other topics as needed. Laboratory work reinforces lecture concepts, and is intended to give students hands-on experience that will help them understand, appreciate, and apply chemical concepts. This course fulfills open, liberal arts, and together with CHE103, laboratory science sequence electives. (3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of lab per week)
