CPHYS 2102 General Chemistry II with Lab

In General Chemistry I, we learned about the subatomic particles that make up chemical matter. You also learned how atoms are connected through chemical bonding, specific stoichiometry and chemical reactions, all of which are guided by certain rules. General Chemistry II will investigate various principles and laws that impact chemical reactions, solubility and interactions between particles. Students will further explore chemical equilibrium and steady state kinetics, which determine the amount of product formation in a reaction. Topics will also include exploration of oxidation and reduction reactions via electrochemical processes and nuclear reactions.
