Welcome to Chemistry II

This is the second in a two semester sequence of courses in General Chemistry. The course assumes that you have successfully completed Chemistry I and are comfortable with the major topics and concepts from that course. While a math course is not a prereuisite for this course, a good background in mathematics will be beneficial. Past experience indicates that students with good algebra skills do well in chemistry courses, and this will continue to be the case in the second course where we deal with mathematical concepts in the study of kinetics, thermodynamics, equilibrium and electrochemistry.

This course will be challenging. You will be asked to stretch your imagination and think about the behavior and properties of atoms and molecules--things which are so small that you can't make a direct observation. You will be asked to make a connection between the physical properties of a substance and its atomic/molecular behavior. Perhaps the most challenging part of this course is making the connection between a chemical concept and the mathematical equation which serves as a model to describe this behavior.

A challenging class can also be fun and informative. Whenever possible I will try to bring examples of real-world examples of chemistry to the classroom. There are some excellent Internet resources available which are both informative and entertaining.

Enjoy the spring semester. I wish you the best in this and all of your classes.

Sincerely,
Chuck Kirkpatrick
