CHEM 1120 - General Chemistry II

4 sem hrs cr

(3 hours lecture-3 hours lab)

This course is a study of solutions, acid-base concepts, chemical kinetics and equilibrium, ionic equilibria of weak electrolytes, thermodynamics, oxidation-reduction reactions, and nuclear chemistry. Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 1110  with a grade of “C” or better

In rare and unusual circumstances, a course prerequisite can be overridden with the permission of the Department Lead for the discipline.

This course may include proctored exams which must be completed on campus or at an instructor approved proctoring center which may require additional costs to the student. Please consult your instructor for additional details.

After completing the requirements of CHEM 1120, students will be able to…

• conduct an experiment, collect and analyze data, and interpret results in a laboratory setting.
• analyze, test, and evaluate a scientific hypothesis.
• use basic scientific language and processes and be able to distinguish between scientific and non-scientific explanations.
• identify unifying principles and repeatable patterns in nature and apply them to problems or issues of a scientific nature.
• analyze and discuss the impact of scientific discovery on human thought and behavior.
