Course Description

This course is the second semester of a two-semester sequence (CHEM C180L and CHEM C185L) which continues the examination of the basic principles of inorganic chemistry with a special emphasis on reaction kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid/base and solubility equilibria, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs free energy, electrochemistry, coordination chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. PREREQUISITE: CHEM C180 and C180L. COREQUISITE: CHEM C185. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC. C-ID: CHEM 120 S.C-ID: CHEM 120 S.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Construct rate laws for chemical reactions and match possible mechanisms for these reactions using the rate data.
2. Distinguish between different types of chemical equilibria and calculate the predicted amounts of reagents and products under equilibrium conditions.
3. Perform thermodynamic calculations using enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs free energy, equilibrium constants, and standard potentials.
4. Define acids and bases using the applications of aqueous equilibria and use the oxidation reduction reactions to explain electrochemistry.
5. Identify the components of the atom according to modern atom theory, balance nuclear equations, and evaluate the progress of radioactive decay.
6. Balance redox reactions and calculate cell potential.
7. Describe current models for transition metal compound bonding and explore Ligand Field Theory.

Course Objectives

• 1. Perform and analyze the results of experiments in the chemistry lab safely and reproducibly.
• 2. Use laboratory equipment such as spectrophotometers, pH meters, and voltmeters as analytical tools
• 3. Estimate the accuracy and precision of laboratory data and present the data in using graphical analysis
• 4. Explain laboratory results using appropriate chemical theory
