Course Description
Builds upon the principles presented in CH 222Z, explores thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium, and applies them to the study of aqueous acid-base reactions, solubility, and electrochemistry. CH 223Z is a lecture course; CH229Z is the laboratory component. Must be co-registered with CH 229Z. To satisfy the lab science requirement, both CH 223Z and CH 229Z must be completed with a grade of C or P or better. Audit available.
Intended Outcomes for the course
Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to:
- Apply concepts of thermodynamics to explain the favorability of chemical reactions.
- Apply the principles of spontaneity, entropy, free energy, and the laws of thermodynamics to predict and rationalize the behavior of chemical reactions.
- Interpret the behavior and relative strengths of acids and bases, buffers, and the hydrolysis of salts.
- Analyze and evaluate equilibrium reactions including solubility, acids and bases, and other equilibria.
- Predict responses of various chemical systems to changing conditions using equilibrium calculations and Le Chatelier’s Principle.
- Use redox reactions and electrochemical principles to determine cell potentials and to analyze the relationship between voltage, free energy, and equilibrium.
- Identify or formulate and apply the appropriate equations related to electrochemistry, thermodynamics, equilibrium reactions, acids, bases, and buffers.
