CHEM 102 General Inorganic Chemistry II

This course involves the study of: chemical thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, ionic and heterogeneous equilibria in aqueous solutions, electrochemistry, and chemical kinetics. The course is designed mainly for science majors and pre-professional students. Lab experiments require students to collect, analyze and interpret data to identify properties and/or unknown substances.
