Explores and applies principles presented in CH/CHE/CHEM 221Z to the study of the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter. Principles of stoichiometry, thermochemistry, kinetics, and foundational equilibrium are explored and applied to the study of aqueous and gas-phase chemical reactions. CH/CHE/CHEM 222Z is a lecture course; CH/CHE/CHEM 228Z is the laboratory component.
Addendum to Course Description
Chemistry 222 is the second of a three terms, 15-credit hour (5 hours/term), chemistry sequence designed to provide a year of general chemistry to science majors. It will meet transfer school requirements for such science majors as: chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, pre-medicine, and other pre-professional programs. The class consists of lecture, and laboratory. The lecture time is used to provide the student with basic chemical concepts and mathematical applications to chemistry. The laboratory re-enforces concepts presented in lecture and provides the student a hands-on opportunity to explore these.
Upon completion of this course the student should be able to:
- Apply stoichiometry to a variety of problems involving reactions, gases, liquids, solutions, thermochemistry, kinetics, and equilibrium expressions.
- Apply kinetic molecular theory and gas laws to predict the behavior of gases at various conditions.
- Identify types of intermolecular forces and apply them to physical properties of solids, liquids, and solutions.
- Describe solution concepts and factors affecting solution properties.
- Determine the effects of different factors on chemical reaction rates and examine the role of catalysis in modifying these rates.
- Apply concepts of thermochemistry to explain thermal energy transfer and the energy changes that accompany chemical and physical changes.
- Identify and apply appropriate equations related to gas laws, solutions, colligative properties, thermochemistry, kinetics, and equilibrium expressions.
This course fulfills the following GE requirements: Science, Math, Computer Science/AAS, Science, Math, Computer Science/AGS, Science, Math, Computer Science/ASOT-B, Science, Math, Computer Science/AS, Science, Math, Computer Science/AAOT.
