CHEM 222Z - General Chemistry II


4 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s):  

CHEM 221Z  and CHEM 227Z , (formerly offered as CHEM221, CHEM221L, CHEM221R), and

MTH 95  or higher-level math course, or designated placement 

Corequisite(s):  

CHEM 228Z  

Course Description: Explores and applies principles presented in CH/CHE/CHEM 221Z  to the study of the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter. Principles of stoichiometry, thermochemistry, kinetics, and foundational equilibrium are explored and applied to the study of aqueous and gas-phase chemical reactions. CH/CHE/CHEM 222Z is a lecture course; CH/CHE/CHEM 228Z  is the laboratory component. 

Course Learning Outcomes:

  • CLO#1: Apply stoichiometry to a variety of problems involving reactions, gases, liquids, solutions, thermochemistry, kinetics, and equilibrium expressions.
  • CLO#2: Apply kinetic molecular theory and gas laws to predict the behavior of gases at various conditions. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy, and Reasoning)  
  • CLO#3: Identify types of intermolecular forces and apply them to physical properties of solids, liquids, and solutions. 
  • CLO#4: Describe solution concepts and factors affecting solution properties. 
  • CLO#5: Determine the effects of different factors on chemical reaction rates and examine the role of catalysis in modifying these rates. 
  • CLO#6: Apply concepts of thermochemistry to explain thermal energy transfer and the energy changes that accompany chemical and physical changes. 
  • CLO#7: Identify and apply appropriate equations related to gas laws, solutions, colligative properties, thermochemistry, kinetics, and equilibrium expressions.
