CH 123 College Chemistry III

The third course in a three-course college chemistry series for students in human performance, agriculture, animal science, fisheries and wildlife, and select health occupations programs, who have had no previous training in chemistry and whose program of study requires only a one-year sequence of college chemistry. Includes topics such as rates of reactions, chemical equilibrium, acid/base equilibrium, buffers, ionic equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.

Students are advised to investigate and understand the degree requirements at the university where they intend to transfer. (Note - this sequence is not equivalent to General Chemistry. CH 122 and CH 123 fulfill Baccalaureate Core requirements at OSU.) CH 121, CH 122, CH 123 must be taken in order.

Outcomes

Distinguish between acids and bases, execute equilibrium concepts to acids and bases, and solve scientific problems associated with acids and bases. Describe and apply fundamental concepts of neutralization reactions, buffers, and titrations, and perform calculations relating to these concepts. Apply solubility rules to extrapolate the solubility of ionic compounds and precipitation reactions, and evaluate aqueous ionic equilibrium problems. Solve scientific problems associated with thermodynamics while applying equilibrium and thermochemistry principles. Solve scientific problems associated with electrochemistry while applying thermodynamic principles. Differentiate organic compounds using general chemistry principles. Perform general chemistry experiments, analyze recorded data, and evaluate the data while working safely in a laboratory environment.
