Brief Course Description

The General Chemistry II is a continuation from General Chemistry I, in which the course will start with discussing properties of Solutions, chemical equilibria, acid-base, organic chemistry and biochemistry. This course is designed for first year undergraduate students expand their fundamental knowledge in atomic structure to chemical bonding to intermolecular forces and apply these fundamental concepts to understanding chemistry of surrounding our daily lives such as rust, acid rain, heartburn, hemoglobin, and medical diagnostic to name a few.

Course Keywords

Chemical equilibrium, acid-base, solutions, electrochemistry, kinetics, organic chemistry, biochemistry
