Course

Description

A continuation of General Chemistry 1 (CHENONE) covering elementary chemical

thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base theories and

applications, reduction-oxidation reactions and electrochemistry.

Course Objectives At the end of the course, the student should be able to

1. understand the nature of energy, its various forms and the energy changes that occurduring chemical reactions

2. relate the change in internal energy to heat and work and differentiate the heat of thereaction measured at constant pressure (change in enthalpy) and constant volume

(change in internal energy)3. relate the First Law of Thermodynamics to the study of thermochemistry4. correctly write rate expressions and rate laws for reactions and determine the order

of the reactions given experimental data

5. show how the factors like concentrations, temperature, the process by which thereaction takes place and the presence of a catalyst influence the rate of the reaction

6. understand the concept of equilibrium and predict how the position of an equilibriumstate is affected by factors such as concentration, temperature, etc.7. calculate equilibrium constants and equilibrium concentrations8. differentiate Arrhenius, Bronsted and Lewis definitions of acids and bases9. understand the concept of pH and use it as a measure of the acidity of a solution10.write ionization equations and calculate the equilibrium concentration of weak acids

and weak bases

11.describe the acidic and basic properties of salts12. identify and balance redox reactions13.calculate cell potentials and predict direction of redox reactions from the cell

potential data.

It is the Lord who gives wisdom;

from Him comes knowledge and understanding. He provides help and protection for righteous,honest men. He protects those who treat others fairly, and guards those who are devoted to Him
