COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
After successful completion of this course, a student will be able to:
1. Identify factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction and measure those rates experimentally in order to determine a rate law for that reaction.
2. Describe phenomena related to nuclear chemistry and radioactivity and perform associated calculations.
3. Use bonding theories such as molecular orbital theory and hybridization to explain the bonding in transition metal complexes.
4. Apply the principles of electrochemistry in the construction of galvanic and electrolytic cells.
5. Apply the laws of thermodynamics to chemical reactions and chemical equilibrium.
6. Describe specific behavior of various categories of elements on the periodic table.
7. Identify and control factors that influence experimental error in gravimetric and volumetric analysis.
8. Safely operate instruments and use computer interfaces to collect, evaluate, analyze, and communicate results.
9. Interpret laboratory data in the context of chemical principles and published scientific literature.
