Description of Course: Chemistry II extends the concepts and principles of Chemistry I. Topics such as the Structure of Matter, Kinetics, Equilibrium, Thermochemistry, and Acid-Base Chemistry will be studied in a detailed and mathematical fashion. This course is designed for students who are interested in furthering their knowledge and understanding of Chemistry. It is suggested for students who successfully completed Chemistry I with a B or better and have a strong foundation in Math. The course rigor will be similar to that of a college level course.
