    Prerequisite
    Completion of CHEM 110. Investigates and quantifies, where possible, the kinetics, entropy, and enthalpy that underlie chemical reactivity. Relates these concepts to chemical equilibrium. Explores application of equilibrium to colligative properties of solutions, acid-base chemistry, precipitation from aqueous solutions, electrochemistry, and coordination compounds. Includes a cursory introduction to the fields of nuclear, organic, polymer, and bio-chemistry. Examines chemical theory in the context of familiar phenomena. Theories are tested and evaluated in the laboratory. This course is designed for science, mathematics, and related majors. (UC, CSU, AVC) (GE: IGETC Areas 5A, 5C, CSU Areas B1, B3)
