General Chemistry II

is a deeper exploration of some of the topics discussed in General Chmeistry I. In this course, the most important thing you'll do is gain more experience with the mathematics associated with chemistry. You'll tackle calculations that allow you to predict whether chemical reactions will occur, and how changing the conditions of the reaction alters what happens. You'll also gain a better understanding of how we can use chemistry to produce energy -- definitely an important topic today.
You'll also learn about more of the most important concepts in chemistry: what makes some reactions happen so quickly (even explosively), while others are painfully slow? How can we get electricity out of a chemical reaction? How do nuclear reactions work?
In the General Chemistry lab, you'll gain more experience in some of the basic techniques used by chemists every day. You'll perform some labs on your own, gaining skill and building your confidence as an independent researcher - and you'll have a chance to conduct some experiments with your classmates, just as professionals collaborate with other scientists.
Just as in General Chemistry I , there's plenty of problem solving - and therefore plenty of math! The math is a bit more complex than it was in the first semester, but if you've had a course in Algebra, you won't find it too unfamiliar. If you're not too confident in math, General Chem II just might give you the experience you need to master it - if you're willing to work at it!
