CH 123 College Chemistry III

The third of a three term college chemistry sequence for students in, human performance, certain health occupations programs, agriculture, animal science, and fisheries and wildlife. This sequence is for students who have had no previous training in chemistry and whose program of study requires only a one-year sequence of college chemistry. Topics include rates of reactions, chemical equilibrium, acid/base equilibrium, buffers, ionic equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Students are advised to investigate and understand the degree requirements at the university where they intend to transfer. (Note - this sequence is not equivalent to General Chemistry. CH 121 does not fulfill the Baccalaureate Core requirements at OSU, however the next two courses in the series, CH 122 and CH 123, fulfill Baccalaureate Core requirements at OSU.) CH 121, CH 122, CH 123 must be taken in order.

Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Solve scientific problems with quantitative methods regarding rates of reactions, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Apply chemical principles related to chemical kinetics, rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions, equilibrium, thermochemistry, and electrochemistry. Work safely in a laboratory environment while observing and accurately recording measurements related to chemical phenomena.
