Course number: CHEM1412
Course title: GENERAL CHEMISTRY II
Semester hours: 4
Foundational Component Area
A. The course “focus[es] on describing, explaining, and predicting natural phenomena using the
scientific method.”
This course focuses on the utilization of the investigation of chemical phenomena and the
utilization of these phenomena in the processes of the scientific method to make predictions
about how matter will interact, how to use instruments to measure these interactions and how to
utilize the information gained from these observations to reach logical conclusions and make
predictions about further investigations. Laboratory experimentation follows the scientific
method.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
B. The course “involve[s] the understanding of interactions among natural phenomena and
implications of scientific principles on the physical world and on human experiences.”
Chemistry is a physical science that explores matter, the structure and behavior of elements, the
characteristics of compounds and reactions between substances. The interactions among the
various chemical processes is fundamental to fundamental to the operation of the physical world
and hence, since human experiences is directly related to these chemical processes (i.e. human
physiology, and energy), a paradigm must exist between the physical world of chemistry and
human experiences.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
Core Objectives
A. Critical Thinking, Aspect 3: “Students will analyze information effectively.”
This course is designed to correlate the chemistry lecture with the laboratory and is inquiry
based to engender the use of the scientific method. Each segment compliments the other and
requires that the student utilize the knowledge gained from one to the other requiring the use of
creative thinking. Throughout the course, numerous assignments, demonstrations, chemistry
problems and laboratory experiments illustrate how students must analyze information
effectively. An example of this analysis of information can be observed in the exercise
“Colligative Properties”. Students will study the effect on boiling point of adding a solute to
water and use the data collected to calculate the molar mass of the solute.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
B. Critical Thinking, Aspect 4: “Students will evaluate information effectively.”
Chemistry is a rigorous math intensive subject that requires analysis of data, synthesis of the
information gathered and the evaluation of the information in the solving of problems presented
from the process. This occurs in both lecture and laboratory settings. Throughout the course,
numerous assignments, demonstrations, chemistry problems and laboratory experiments
illustrate how students must evaluate information effectively. An example of this evaluation of
information can be observed in the exercise “Iodination of Acetone”. Students must use
different amounts of reactants to determine the time of reaction for several different mixtures.
Using time data, students will determine the rate of reaction with respect to each reactant.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
C. Critical Thinking, Aspect 5: “Students will synthesize information effectively.”
Chemistry is a rigorous math intensive subject that requires analysis of data, synthesis of the
information gathered and the evaluation of the information in the solving of problems presented
from the process. This occurs in both lecture and laboratory settings. Throughout the course,
numerous assignments, demonstrations, chemistry problems and laboratory experiments
illustrate how students must evaluate information effectively. An example of this synthesis of
information can be observed in the exercise Paper Chromatography: Students will study the
movement of different compounds on a chromatography strip to study the separation of
components in the compounds.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
D. Communication, Aspect 1: “Students will demonstrate effective development, interpretation,
and expressions of ideas through written communication.”
The course is math intensive and requires analysis of data, synthesis of the information gathered
and the evaluation of the information in the solving of problems presented from the process.
Students must effective develop, interpret, and express their findings in both lecture and
laboratory settings through written communication. Homework assignments, test questions, and
laboratory reports are some of the ways this is evaluated. The chemistry lecture and laboratory
requires that students work together in a collaborative learning environment. Students must
development of the appropriate protocol. The information developed in the laboratory requires
that this information is then interpreted and reported in written and/ or visual communication.
Because of the laboratory experience, students learn to share and cooperate in the expression of
laboratory results see exercise “PHET Simulation: Weak and Strong Acids”. Students will
answer questions about the strength, concentration and pH of acid solutions. Then they will use
computer simulation to verify their answers and either verify or change their responses with
written explanations.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
E. Communication, Aspect 3: “Students will demonstrate effective development, interpretation,
and expressions of ideas through visual communication.”
In the lecture and laboratory portion of this course students are required to effectively develop,
interpret, and express their ideas and findings through visual communication. Lecture and
laboratory assignments, homework, lab experiments and exam questions require that students
work together in the development of the appropriate protocol. The information developed in the
lecture/laboratory requires that this information is then interpreted and reported in written and/
or visual communication. Because of the experience, students learn to share and cooperate in
the expression of results see “Vinegar Titration”. Students will determine the end point of a
weak acid/strong base titration using a color change indicator, and use this information to
calculate the concentration of the weak acid.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
F. Empirical and Quantitative Skills, Aspect 1: “Students will demonstrate effective
manipulation of numerical data or observable facts”
In the lecture and laboratory portion of this course students are required to follow strict protocol
and gather numerical data and then perform the appropriate analysis of that data and reach
reasonable scientific conclusions based on that data. See “Equilibrium Constant, FeSCN”.
Students will conduct several trials of an experiment to determine concentrations of ions in
solutions. Students will use these concentrations to determine the equilibrium constant for the
reaction.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
G. Empirical and Quantitative Skills, Aspect 2: “Students will demonstrate effective analysis of
numerical data or observable facts”
In the lecture and laboratory portion of this course students follow strict protocol and gather
numerical data and then perform the appropriate analysis of that data and reach reasonable
scientific conclusions based on that data. See “Lemonade Buffers” Students will study the
effectiveness of a buffer system when a strong base is added. Students will also titrate an
unbuffered solution and compare the results, identifying the titration curve on a graphing
calculator.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
H. Empirical and Quantitative Skills, Aspect 1: “Students will demonstrate effective use of
numerical data or observable facts to reach informed conclusions”
In the lecture and laboratory portion of this course students follow strict protocol and gather
numerical data and then perform the appropriate analysis of that data and reach reasonable
scientific conclusions based on that data. See “Solubility Product Constant, Ksp”. Students will
use titration data and calculations to determine the molar solubility of a slightly soluble salt.
Assessment: Laboratory and Lecture exams, Homework Assignments, laboratory reports
I. Teamwork: “Students will demonstrate the ability to consider different points of view and to
work effectively with others to support shared purpose or goal.”
The lecture and laboratory portion of the course is based on a collaborative learning
environment. This is accomplished by breaking the students into small groups and those small
groups working together to accomplish a shared goal. See “Electrolysis of Water”, students
will conduct an experiment using electrochemistry to break water molecules into hydrogen and
oxygen gas. Students will work together to analyze the changes that occur as each gas is
collected and determine which gas is collected at the anode and cathode.. This allows students to
consider multiple points of view and understand how the science of chemistry is accomplished.

BASIC INTELLECTUAL COMPETENCIES FOR THIS COURSE
 READING – Reading at the college level means the ability to analyze and interpret a variety of
printed materials – books, articles and documents. A core curriculum should offer student the
opportunity to master both general methods of analyzing printed materials and specific methods for
analyzing the subject matter of individual disciplines.
 WRITING – Competency in writing is the ability to produce clear, correct, and coherent prose
adapted to purpose, occasion, and audience. Although correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation
are each a sine qua non in any composition, they do not automatically ensure that the composition
itself makes sense or that the writer has much of anything to say. Students need to be familiar with
the writing process including how to discover a topic and how to develop and organize it, how to
phrase it effectively for their audience. These abilities can be acquired only through practice and
reflection.
 SPEAKING – Competence in speaking is the ability to communicate orally in clear, coherent, and
persuasive language appropriate to purpose, occasion, and audience. Developing this competency
includes acquiring poise and developing control of the language through experience in making
presentations to small groups, to large groups, and through the media.
 LISTENING – Listening at the college level means the ability to analyze and interpret various forms of
spoken communication.
 CRITICAL THINKING – Critical thinking embraces methods for applying both qualitative and
quantitative skills analytically and creatively to subject matter in order to evaluate arguments and to
construct alternative strategies. Problem solving is one of the applications of critical thinking, used
to address an identified task.
 COMPUTER LITERACY – Computer literacy at the college level means the ability to use computerbased technology in communicating, solving problems, and acquiring information. Core-educated
students should have an understanding of the limits, problems, and possibilities associated with the
use of technology, and should have the tools necessary to evaluate and learn new technologies as
they become available.
