Colligative properties, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base concepts, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and nuclear chemistry. These principles will be illustrated in an accompanying laboratory. THIS COURSE IS INTENDED FOR STUDENTS IN SCIENCE OR PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week.
Course Learning Objectives
When this course is completed, the student will have learned to:
- Determine the effect of solutes on colligative properties of solutions.
- Determine the rate of a reaction and its dependence on concentration, time, and temperature.
- Apply the principles of equilibrium to aqueous systems using LeChatelier's Principle to predict the effects of concentration, pressure, and temperature changes on equilibrium mixtures.
- Identify the characteristics of acids, bases, and salts, and solve problems based on their quantitative relationships.
- Identify and balance oxidation-reduction equations, and solve redox titration problems.
- Analyze and perform calculations with the thermodynamic functions, enthalpy, entropy, and free energy.
- Discuss the construction and operation of galvanic and electrolytic electrochemical cells, and determine standard and non-standard cell potentials.
- Define nuclear decay processes.
