The Chemistry II course digital enhancements collection provides open education resources (OER) for instructors covering chemical concepts in the second semester of a general chemistry course or other STEM-related courses that cover some aspect of second semester chemistry topics within their curriculum. The textbook used by the Chemistry II faculty team members of the UNC Digital Course Enhancement is “OpenStax: Chemistry Atoms First 2e”. The course materials provided are related to the following majors (and concentrations): biology, biochemistry, chemistry, computer science, exercise and sport science, mathematics, medical technology, nutrition, and physics. This course is also required for admittance into physician assistant programs and the following pre-professional programs: predentistry, preengineering, premedicine, prepharmacy, prephysical therapy, and preveterinary medicine. This course may also partially satisfy the general education natural science requirement. General Chemistry II course collection materials include suggested reading sections in the Chemistry Atoms First 2e textbook, lecture videos, demonstrations and activities/assessments related to chemical concepts such as, but not limited to the following: gases, intermolecular forces, solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics , electrochemistry and radioactivity.
The Chemistry II course enhancements collection was developed based upon student learning outcomes (SLOs) across four institutions, including UNC Greensboro, UNC Pembroke, East Carolina University, and Appalachian State University.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Apply kinetic molecular theory and gas laws relationships to explain the behavior of gases.
Explain the role of intermolecular forces in describing physical properties of solids, liquids, and gases.
Apply principles of solution composition to explain their behavior in physical and biological systems.
Apply the principles of thermodynamics and kinetics to analyze chemical transformations.
Explain the acid-base behavior of aqueous systems through application of equilibrium principles.
Explain electrochemical systems through application of thermodynamic and stoichiometric parameters.
Describe the basic aspects of nuclear chemistry to its utilization in medical and energy sectors.
Apply problem solving and mathematical analysis to chemical systems.
