General Chemistry 1B

Chemistry is a quantitative/predictive science. It is not an isolated collection of facts but a body of knowledge that fits together in laws and theories to describe nature. In this course, we will discuss these laws and theories that will allow us to predict chemical phenomena.

Chem 1B will cover the following topics: solubility and the solution process, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics,  chemical reaction rates, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and the descriptive chemistry of Elements in the Periodic Table. This course is a more detailed look at substances and chemical reactions covered in Chem 1A and their applications.
