    Description
    This course is the second semester of a one-year course and fulfills the general chemistry requirement for students in science, engineering, physics, pre-dental, pre-medical, and pre-pharmacy programs. Topics covered include equilibrium of weak acids and bases, slightly soluble salts and complex ions in aqueous solution. The basic principles of thermodynamics and electrochemistry are presented, along with an introduction to coordination, nuclear and organic chemistry. The lab stresses descriptive inorganic chemistry, basic physical and organic chemistry and qualitative analysis.
