    Description
    This course completes the year-long general chemistry sequence (1A-1B) and covers the principles of physical and inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on quantitative, mathematical problem solving. Topics covered include acid-base theory, chemical kinetics, equilibrium (acid-base, hydrolysis, and solubility), chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry, selected topics in nuclear chemistry, coordination chemistry, and/or chemistry of selected groups. Students will analyze inorganic compounds qualitatively and quantitatively.
