Chemistry II + Lab
Principles of Chemistry II
Introduction to Chemical Practices II
4 College Credits (3 for lecture, 1 for lab) | UT Course Codes: CH 302, CH 104N | TCCN Courses: CHEM 1312, CHEM 1112 | Core Code: 030
High School Course Prerequisites: OnRamps Chemistry I + Lab, AP Chemistry or equivalent
Analyze and identify unknowns while using modern chemistry instruments along the way.
Principles of Chemistry II continues the development and application of concepts, theories and laws introduced in Chemistry I and extends the study of thermodynamics. The lab component focuses on analytical laboratory techniques, modern chemistry instrumentation and experimental protocols.
Students deepen chemistry knowledge through experiments, group work and simulations that explore chemical equilibria, kinetics, water, and nuclear chemistry and electrochemistry.
Course Structure
Through Flipped Learning, students build on what they learned in Principles of Chemistry I (or an equivalent prior college chemistry course). They continue to develop their laboratory and analytical skills.
