Fundamentals of Chemistry II
Credits 4. 1 lecture hour. 3 lab hours.
Theory and applications of oxidation-reductions systems; thermodynamics and kinetics; complex equilibria and solubility product; nuclear chemistry; descriptive inorganic and organic chemistry; introduction to analytical and synthetic methods and to quantitative techniques to both inorganic and organic compounds with emphasis on an investigative approach. Prerequisites: CHEM 119, or CHEM 107 and CHEM 117.
Chemistry for Engineers Courses
General Chemistry for Engineering Students
Credits 3. 1 lecture hours.
Introduction to important concepts and principles of chemistry; emphasis on areas considered most relevant in an engineering context; practical applications of chemical principles in engineering and technology. Students completing CHEM 107 and changing majors to curricula requiring CHEM 101 and CHEM 102 may substitute CHEM 107 for CHEM 101. Only one of the following will satisfy the requirements for a degree: CHEM 107 or CHEM 101. Prerequisites: Concurrent enrollment in CHEM 117; grade of C or better in MATH 150, or equivalent, or acceptable score on Texas A&M University math placement exam.
General Chemistry for Engineering Students Laboratory
Credits 1. 3 lab hours.
Introduction to important concepts and principles of chemistry in the laboratory; emphasis on areas considered most relevant in an engineering context; practical applications of chemical principles in engineering and technology. Students completing CHEM 117 and changing majors to curricula requiring CHEM 111 and CHEM 112 may substitute CHEM 117 for CHEM 111. Only one of the following will satisfy the requirements for a degree: CHEM 117 or CHEM 111. Prerequisites: CHEM 107 or registration therein.
