CHEM& 142 General Chemistry II: Non-Lab (5 credits)
Distribution Area Fulfilled Natural Science; General Transfer Elective
Prerequisite CHEM& 141 with a grade of at least 1.5, or instructor permission.
Course Description
The 2nd quarter of general chemistry for Interservice Physician Assistant Program students. Provides the chemical background to understand physiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatments. Not a lab class.
Course Content
A. Bonding theory
B. Molecular structures
C. Intermolecular forces
D. States of matter
E. An introduction to second law of thermodynamics
F. Kinetics
G. Equilibrium and Le Chatlier’s principle
H. Acids and bases
I. Solubility; Slightly soluble salts
Student Outcomes
1. Using modern bonding theories, draw Lewis structures and use them to explain the geometry and polarity of covalent bonds Identify the different types of intermolecular forces to explain how their strengths influence the physical properties of matter.
2. Describe, both quantitatively and qualitatively, the various aspects of mixtures including concentration, solubility, and colligative properties.
3. Apply the 2nd law of thermodynamics and its applications to chemical systems.
4. Describe factors that affect rates of chemical reactions and apply rate laws to calculate rate order and activation energy.
5. Describe, predict, and calculate the outcomes resulting from the interaction of acids, bases, buffers and salts and complex ions, using the concept of chemical equilibrium Demonstrate via multiple modalities how course-specific concepts and theories apply to physiology, pathology, diagnosis and treatments
Degree Outcomes
Natural Sciences: Graduates use the scientific method to analyze natural phenomena and acquire skills to evaluate authenticity of data/information relative to the natural world.
Critical, Creative, and Reflective Thinking: Graduates will evaluate, analyze, and synthesize information and ideas in order to construct informed, meaningful, and justifiable conclusions; and process feelings, beliefs, biases, strengths, and weaknesses as they relate to their thinking, decisions, and creations.
