Description

Objective:

The course objective is for learners to be able to apply principles of intermolecular forces, solutions, chemical reactions, electrochemistry, solubility equilibria, and major organic compound classes to interpret chemical behavior.

Learning Outcomes:

  • Define key terms related to intermolecular forces and solutions.
  • Describe chemical equilibrium principles in acid-base and solubility systems.
  • Calculate reaction order and half-life using the rate law equation.
  • Identify fundamental concepts and applications of electrochemistry.
  • Describe the composition and chemical phenomena of Earth’s atmosphere.
  • Explain the chemical properties of metals and nonmetals in industrial and biological contexts.
  • Describe coordination compounds and their reactions.
  • List types of radioactive decay and applications of radiometric dating.
  • Classify organic compounds, including alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, and amines.
  • Apply entropy and Gibbs free energy concepts to determine the spontaneity of chemical reactions.
