In this course, we will expand,
refine, and quantify our understanding of how atoms interact to form molecules.
We will discuss the rate and direction of chemical reactions, the application
of equilibrium to acid-base chemistry and solubility, expand our understanding
of the role of energy in chemical reactions, and refine our understanding of
redox chemistry using electrochemistry. As the second course in the
two-semester general chemistry sequence, this course is designed to provide a
solid foundation in chemical thinking for both chemistry majors and those
pursuing a variety of other fields, including medicine, engineering, and the
other sciences. Laboratory work is required. Prerequisite: C- or better in CHE 131.
