Chemistry - CHEM 117
General Chemistry 2 and Qualitative Analysis
5 Credit Hours4 Lecture Hours4 Laboratory Hours
Course Description
This course is the second course in a traditional one-year general college chemistry program and includes the study of kinetics, solution equilibria, solubility equilibria, hydrolysis, electrochemistry, coordination compounds, thermodynamics and qualitative analysis. A brief introduction to organic chemistry and quantitative analysis is also included. Laboratory work correlates with lecture and stresses the identification of common cations and anions by semi-micro methods.
Prerequisites
(A requirement that must be completed before taking this course.)
Course Competencies
Upon successful completion of the course, the student should be able to:
- Calculate equilibrium constants and reactant/product concentrations relating to various chemical equilibria.
- Differentiate between Arrhenius, Bronsted/Lowry and Lewis definitions of acids and bases.
- Measure the pH of a solution using a pH meter and acid/base indicators.
- Write balanced equations for acids, bases and insoluble solids dissolved in water.
- Write balanced equations for reactions between acids and bases.
- Calculate the hydrogen ion, hydroxide ion, pH and pOH of strong and weak acids and bases, salt solutions, buffer solutions and mixtures of acids and bases.
- Interpret titration curves.
- Calculate Ksp and molar solubility for slightly soluble solids.
- Calculate molar solubility for slightly soluble solids in the presence of common ions or complexing agents.
- Determine the effect of pH on the solubility of a solid.
