Includes the study of thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base equilibrium, ionic equilibrium, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and organic chemistry. Also includes the problem-solving skills and descriptive contents for these topics. Organic chemistry may be included if time permits. The laboratory experiments will demonstrate both the qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques. Nomenclature of organic compounds, stereochemistry, and reaction mechanisms are also covered.
Students demonstrate the above concepts and laboratory techniques in the laboratory.
Introduction to the chemistry of heterocycles and biologically related compounds, if time permits. Students demonstrate the above concepts and laboratory techniques.
