Comprehensive General Chemistry 3
Course Code
CHEM 11300 91
Course Description
This is the third in a three-course sequence that is a comprehensive survey of modern descriptive, inorganic, and physical chemistry for students with a good secondary school exposure to general chemistry. We will cover atomic and molecular theories, chemical periodicity, chemical reactivity and bonding, chemical equilibria, acid-base equilibria, solubility equilibria, phase equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, quantum mechanics, and nuclear chemistry. Examples will be drawn from chemical, biological, and materials systems. The laboratory portion includes an introduction to quantitative measurements, investigation of the properties of the important elements and their compounds, and experiments associated with the common ions and their separation and identification. Attendance at discussion and laboratory sessions is required.
Course Criteria
Prerequisites: CHEM 11100 and CHEM 11200 or equivalent. Strong mathematics background, preferably experience with single variable calculus.
UChicago students planning to take Organic Chemistry must participate in the in-person labs.
Remote lab: MWF 1:30-5:30 pm. In-person lab: MWF 2:00-6:00 pm Not open to matriculating first year students.
