In this second semester course, we will cover a wide-ranging field of topics, learning everything from the equation that made Einstein famous to why you can’t replace a dead car battery with a household battery. In General Chemistry I, we studied the basic tools you need to explore different fields in chemistry, such as stoichiometry and thermodynamics. This second-semester course will cover several of the tools needed to study chemistry at a more advanced level. We will identify the factors that affect the speed of a reaction, learn how an atom bomb works on a chemical level, and discover how chemistry powers a light bulb. Topics in advanced organic and inorganic chemistry courses will build upon what you learn in this class. We will end with discussion of organic chemistry, a topic that is as important to biology as it is to chemistry.
