Transfer Information Courses with numbers 100 to 299: This course is designed to apply toward a WNC degree and/or transfer to other schools within the Nevada System of Higher Education, depending on the degree chosen and other courses completed. It may transfer to colleges and universities outside Nevada. For information about how this course can transfer and apply to your program of study, please contact a counselor.
Programs of Study This course can be found in the following programs of study:
I : Catalog Course Description
Provides fundamentals of chemistry including solutions, kinetics, equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemisty, nuclear chemistry and properties of inorganic and organic compounds. Three hours lecture/three hours laboratory.
II : Course Objectives

CHEM 122, General Chemistry II, is the second semester of a one year sequence in general chemistry. The course covers fundamentals of chemistry including solutions, kinetics, equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry and properties of inorganic and organic compounds. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory per week.

  • Upon successful completion of CHEM 122, General Chemistry II, students should understand principles of solutions, solubility, colligative properties, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, applications of aqueous equilibria including acid-base equilibria and solubility product, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, properties of inorganic and organic compounds, qualitative analysis, applications to biologically important molecules, and have practiced laboratory methods needed to observe and measure the above.
III : Course Linkage
Linkage of course to educational program mission and at least one educational program outcome.

General Education Mission: CHEM 122 is a general education class that promotes the development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will benefit students in their personal and professional endeavors.

General Education Student Learning Outcome: Students who successfully complete CHEM 122 satisfy the general education learning outcomes: (1) can use college-level mathematics skills, and (2) have problem solving and critical thinking skills.

Program Mission for AA/AS degree: CHEM 122 satisfies the A.A./A.S. degree mission by providing academic knowledge and skills for successful transfer to meet higher educational goals.

Program Student Learning Outcomes for AA/AS degree: Students who successfully complete CHEM 122 will know the subject matter appropriate to the emphasis of the degree.

Sections II and III were prepared on November 1, 2007. Please contact the Science, Mathematics & Engineering division for more information.
