CHEM 1180 - General Chemistry 2 Credit Hours: 4.00 Prerequisites: CHEM 1170 with grade C or better
A continuation of CHEM 1170 with emphasis on kinetics, chemical equilibrium of gaseous and aqueous environments, acid-base interactions, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and coordination compounds.
