Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

3 hours lecture per week Prerequisite(s): CHEM 161. Recommended Preparation: MATH 103, 135. CHEM 162 introduces additional basic principles of chemistry including kinetics, redox reactions and electrochemistry, acid-base chemistry, thermodynamics, and isotopes. Upon successful completion of CHEM 162, the student should be able to: Calculate an equilibrium constant. Calculate an ionization constant. Calculate a solubility product constant. Show the relationship between equilibrium and ionization constants. Calculate the pH of a weak acid or weak base solution. Calculate a hydrolysis constant. Calculate the pH of a solution undergoing hydrolysis. Use a solubility product constant to determine if precipitation will occur. Explain the difference between voltaic and electrolytic cells. Calculate standard and non-standard cell voltages. Calculate the free energy of a reaction. Explain the relationship between free energy and cell voltage. Calculate the enthalpy for a given chemical reaction using heats of formation of reactants and products. Explain the relationship between free energy, entropy, and enthalpy. Student Learning Outcomes for CHEM 162: (A) The student will be able to apply mathematical problem solving skills in more advanced chemistry courses, other science courses, or in the workplace. (B) The student will develop critical thinking/problem solving skills and apply them in more advanced chemistry courses, other science courses, or in the workplace.
