CHEM211

Describe the role that chemical equilibrium plays on the behavior of chemical reactions (Le Chatelier’s Principle).

Solve quantitative chemistry problems using appropriate dimensional analysis (including reaction stoichiometry, solution preparation and concentration, kinetics, equilibria (Keq, Kp, Kc, Ka, Kb, Ksp), acid-base using pH and buffers, thermochemical, electrochemistry, and nuclear reactions).

Demonstrate and solve reaction order based on kinetic data by understanding the role of the reaction mechanism, catalysts, and activation energy.

Recognize and apply knowledge of chemical structures to predict the types of intermolecular forces and colligative properties of gases, liquids, and solids.

Associate and evaluate energy and entropy changes of various chemical processes.

Engage in safe practices in the laboratory.

Demonstrate appropriate lab technique, measurement skill, and interpretation of results.

Communicate lab work effectively in written reports.
