COURSE DESCRIPTION:
This is the second of two-semester course of fundamental chemistry. Topics include: Chemical equilibrium, acid base theories, solubility, equilibrium, thermo chemistry and thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, nuclear reactions, electrochemistry, an introduction to organic chemistry and some representative bio molecules. Laboratory work includes the above topics, plus qualitative analysis of select cations, and chromatography. The keeping of a laboratory notebook and the writing of formal reports is emphasized.
Prerequisite: CHM 105 General Chemistry l

Relationship to Programs:
Chemistry CHM 106 is a continuation of CHM 105 and is designed for the physical science or biological science related major. It is also an excellent course for someone planning on a career in science or engineering education. This course does not require calculus. If in doubt about the proper chemistry course to take, consult with your advisor or with the Department Chair. The Science and Engineering Department offers this course. This course may be applicable to several programs. Consult your advisor and refer to the OCCC catalog, which contains authoritative information. If changes in procedures and requirements are necessary, the instructor will announce them.
Course Objectives:
The student who successfully completes this course will
- understand the fundamental models of chemistry
- learn about how chemistry is involved in the real world
- help to develop skills for problem solving
Grading System:
The grading for this course will be determined as follows
| Quizzes | 20% |
|---|---|
| Test 1 | 10% |
| Test 2 | 10% |
| Test 3 | 10% |
| Final | 20% |
| Lab. Work | 20% + 10% Project & Report |
Attendance and Withdrawal
Perfect attendance is assumed in this course. The student's grade will reflect any lack of attendance. It is the student's responsibility to speak with instructor and withdraw from the course if things are not going well. No make-up for quizzes is allowed for any reason. However, two quizzes with the lowest grade will be dropped from the average.
Support Services
Tutoring services are available in the Library. There is also a study lounge available in Horton Hall, which is close to all the faculty offices. There are services available for students with disabilities. Any such conditions should be communicated privately to the instructor on the first day of class so that any necessary special arrangements or accommodations can be made.
