Concepts and theories covered include thermodynamics, kinetics, chemical equilibria, and applications of equilibrium theory to solubility, acids and bases, oxidation-reduction, and coordination chemistry. The Chemistry Department will be a scholarly community in which faculty, staff, and students actively participate, in both formal and informal venues. They will be able to do so orally and in writing. Students will be aware of the career choices available to chemistry graduates.
Education is an intensely collaborative process, requiring the interaction of student with teacher.
This course is designed for students with a good background in chemistry and math. This pamphlet contains course information that will be of use throughout the semester. All of the course policies are described herein. Please take a few minutes sometime before the next class meeting to familiarize yourself with its contents. If you have further questions regarding the course organization and policies, please ask me.
