Course Description
This course is the second part of a two-semester sequence that builds on the foundational principles of chemistry. It provides a deeper understanding of chemical concepts and their real-world applications. Key topics include the properties and preparation of solutions, as well as the laws governing chemical kinetics and equilibrium. Students learn about acids and bases, including pH, buffer solutions, and titration. The curriculum also introduces the fundamental principles of thermodynamics, such as enthalpy, entropy, and free energy, and explores electrochemistry, covering concepts like electrolysis and Faraday’s law. By examining these topics, the course aims to equip students with a robust knowledge of advanced chemical principles and the ability to apply them to solve a variety of problems.
