Chem 105
Introductory University Chemistry II
Description
Rates of reactions, thermodynamics and equilibrium, electrochemistry, modern applications of chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 103. Note: Restricted to Engineering students only.Learning Outcomes
Determine the rate law and order of a reaction from experimental kinetic results. Then apply integrated rate laws to predict amounts of reactants and products, remaining or produced, at any given time of the reaction.Using collision and transition state theories, qualitatively determine what causes a certain reaction to be fast or slow. Assess theoretically proposed mechanisms, with or without a rate determining step, by comparing them to experimental rate laws.
Calculate the position of equilibrium for a gas phase reaction for which the equilibrium constant value is either given or is calculated from experimental data.
Apply position of equilibrium calculations to acids and bases, solubility and complex formation problems.
Determine the bonding and the structure of coordination compounds and use these to predict properties such as isomerism, magnetism and colors.
Using the first law of thermodynamics, relate heat and work to the internal energy and enthalpy change. Then calculate enthalpy changes either from experimental measurements (calorimetry) or from tabulated data (bond energies, enthalpies of standard formation).
Determine whether a reaction will be spontaneous using the concepts of entropy and the Gibbs free energy by introducing the second and third laws of thermodynamics. And then relate spontaneity to the equilibrium constant.
Explore aspects of spontaneous REDOX reactions (Galvanic cells) and non-spontaneous REDOX reactions (electrolytic cells) by calculating cell potentials under standard and non-standard conditions (Nernst equation).
Apply the Nernst equation to determine various equilibrium constants (acid/base dissociation constants, Ksp solubility product constants and Kf complex ion formation constants).
Explore applications of electrochemistry such as electrolysis, corrosion, batteries and fuel cells.
Correctly use personal protective equipment, glassware, equipment (spectrophotometers, pH meters), and techniques (filtration, precipitation, titration) while following WHMIS, chemical safety and chemical disposal guidelines.
Analyze and interpret experimental results by appropriately applying theories learned throughout the course. Report these results with appropriate graphs, tables, and precision.
