CHM 112 (General Chemistry 2): 

Students will continue the study of general chemistry from CHM110.  This course differs from CHM 111 in that it covers organic chemistry in considerable depth, giving less depth to the topics covered in CHM 111. Students will be able to predict solubility of substances, particularly in water; to use several expressions of concentration, wt %, mole fraction, molarity and normality; relate colligative properties (vapor pressure, freezing point composition diagrams, and osmosis) to composition of solutions; differentiate between solutions and colloids.  Students will be able to apply the fundamental principles of chemical reaction rates; predict direction of equilibrium in chemical reactions and calculate concentrations of substances in equilibrium systems; apply the principles of acids and bases and buffers in aqueous equilibria, including calculations of pH.  Students will be able to apply fundamental principles of electrochemistry and corrosion, and balance redox equations; will understand the basics of nuclear chemistry.  Students will be able to name and write structural formulas for the following classes of organic chemicals and will learn the typical chemical reactions and physical properties thereof: alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, alkyl halides, aromatic compounds, amines, aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acids and their derivatives; will acquire a fundamental understanding of organic polymer chemistry.
