Natural Science 0203 - Chemistry 2

In this course we will examine how interaction between matter and energy governs chemical reactions and other chemical processes. Largely through the lens of chemical thermodynamics, we will gain both qualitative and quantitative insight into a range of chemical changes, building predictive capabilities within the overlapping topics of thermochemistry, intermolecular forces, solution equilibria, electrochemistry, acids and bases, and nuclear reactions. Assignments will include in-class, small group, and self-guided problem solving, three cumulative problem sets, and a presentation on a topic of the student's choice. Students will also be registered in NS-0219, the laboratory section of this course
