Natural Science 0219 - Chemistry 2 Lab

In this lab, we will explore experimentally quantitative aspects of chemical equilibrium, thermochemistry, and kinetics, alternately following and preceding coverage of these topics in the classroom. Emphasis will be placed on experimental design, accuracy and precision of measurement, data analysis, and on using the power of experiment to shed light on fundamental behaviors of chemical substances. After exposure to a toolbox of experimental techniques, including familiarization with a range of instrumentation and experience analyzing individual and pooled class data, students will work in small groups to carry out a project of their own design. Students taking this laboratory are required to enroll in the corresponding classroom component of the course (NS-0203)

Students should expect to spend 6-8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time
