Untitled document
After successful completion of this course, a student will be able to:
1. Solve for the concentrations or pressures of various species in a chemical equilibrium.
2. Apply the concepts of chemical equilibrium to acids and bases, buffers, titration, solubility, electrochemistry and metal complex formation.
3. Determine the free energy change for a physical or chemical process at nonstandard conditions.
4. Apply the principles of electrochemistry in the construction and analysis of voltaic and electrolytic cells.
5. Use kinetics to describe the rate and possible mechanisms of a reaction.
6. Describe isomerism and bonding in transition metal complexes.
7. Describe the kinetics and other phenomena related to nuclear chemistry and radioactivity.
8. Identify and control factors that influence experimental error in gravimetric and volumetric analysis.
