  • Describe the properties of solutions
  • List factors affecting reaction rate and discuss chemical equilibria
  • Identify acids and bases, use the pH scale, and work titration problems

Course Requirements:

  • Online Quizzes, assignments, and exams
  • On-line lab assignments utilizing common household materials

Additional Requirements:

  • Scientific Calculator – non-graphing (Graphing calculators are fine, but not required)
  • Safety Glasses – should comply with ANSI Z87.1-1989, “American National Standard Practice for Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection.” (Make sure the safety glasses purchased are stamped with Z87, which signifies they meet OSHA standards.)
  • Laboratory assignments use basic household materials.

Survey of Chemistry II

This course is the second in a two-semester sequence covering elementary principles of general and organic chemistry and ciochemistry‌ designed for Allied Health Profession Majors. Topics to be covered include elements and compounds, chemical equations, nomenclature, and molecular geometry. Laboratory exercises will supplement the lecture material. 

Prerequisite: CHEM 1151k

Principles of Chemistry I

Credits:  4

Prerequisite(s): Permission of instructor.

This course is the first part of a two-semester general chemistry curriculum. It is primarily designed for students with career interests in chemistry, biology, medicine, pharmacy and other STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) fields. This course covers basic chemistry: the fundamental concepts concerning the atomic and molecular structures and properties of matter, states of matter, stoichiometry, chemical equations and various types of equilibrium in solution including electrochemistry. Laboratory exercises supplement lectures.

A student who successfully completes CHEM 1211K will be able to:

  • Classify matter
  • Interconvert and make use of various units/systems of measurement
  • Use the periodic table to identify the atomic and electronic structure of atoms of the elements
  • Name and write formulas for compounds
  • Complete and balance chemical reactions
  • Perform stoichiometric calculations for chemical reactions
  • Use the gas laws to predict conditions for gaseous substances
  • Determine enthalpy changes for chemical reactions using calorimetric or tabulated data
  • Describe and distinguish ionic and covalent bonding
  • Perform measurements using laboratory instruments and data acquisition devices
  • Use the scientific method in safely carrying out laboratory experiments.

Course Requirements:

  • Online lectures, quizzes, reading assignments, and laboratory exercises
  • Proctored Tests – Instructor Mutisya requires 4 proctor exams other instructors require 2 .  This course requires 4 - 2 proctored tests. Students may test at Albany State University campuses (East, West or Cordele) or online through Proctor U. Further information regarding proctored tests (including pricing structures for Proctor U) can be found within the course. Proctor U requires a computer (not a mobile device) with a webcam and microphone.
