CHM 175 - General Chemistry II


Last Date of Approval: Spring 2021

4 Credits
Total Lecture Hours: 45
Total Lab Hours: 45
Total Clinical Hours: 0
Total Work-Based Experience Hours: 0

Course Description:
This course is a continuation of CHM165 General Chemistry I with consideration of states of matter, solutions, acids-bases, reaction rates, equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. This course will help students refine their critical thinking skills as they evaluate various topics and concepts while searching for underlying connections between the concepts, which is a skill that should be beneficial in any/all types of careers. This course will also help students gain scientific literacy which will be of vital significance when making important life decisions. Three hours lecture, three hours lab.

Prerequisites/Corequisites: CHM 165  with a C grade or better or equivalent.
