Course Description
Theoretical Content:
General Chemistry II deals mainly with an introduction to the states of matter: solid, liquid and gaseous state, gas laws, and kinetic theory of gases. This course includes types of solutions, ideal and non-ideal solutions, and colligative properties, chemical and ionic equilibrium. Thermochemistry, energy changes in chemical reactions, acid-base equilibrium, buffer solutions as well.
Practical Content:
The topics covered include some experiments on viscosity of liquids, density of liquids and solids, determining the molar mass of volatile liquids solids measuring, heat of enthalpies, distribution coefficient, pH, acid- base titration.
