Minimum Student Competencies
Upon completion of CHEM 1030 General Chemistry II , the student will:
- Explain whether a given chemical system is at equilibrium or how it will move towards equilibrium.
- Explain how changes in conditions will affect the position of a given system at or approaching a state of dynamic chemical equilibrium.
- Predict the characteristics of a system involving an acid/base, precipitation or reduction-oxidation reaction that has reached dynamic chemical equilibrium.
- Interpret chemical thermodynamic properties of a given chemical system, including but not limited to enthalpy, entropy, free energy, cell potential and the equilibrium constant.
- Predict how changes in conditions, especially concentration and temperature, will affect the thermodynamics of a given chemical system.
- Predict the kinetic behavior of a given chemical system by analyzing its macroscopic (temperature, surface area, concentration, catalyst) and microscopic (activation energy, particulate kinetic energy) properties.
- Interpret nuclear phenomena including but not limited to alpha decay, beta decay, half-life, fission and fusion.
- Develop techniques needed to use instrumentation in quantitative laboratory work.
- Communicate chemical concepts in written and oral form.
