Chemistry 30
The Instructor for this course is Chris Knievel
Course History
First Offered in 2002
Developed by Norm Lipinski
Pre-requisite Physical Science 20
Chemistry 30 builds upon and uses concepts and principles developed in Chemistry 20. Following an examination of energy and chemical reactions, the rates of chemical reactions are studied. Equilibriums as phenomena are examined and provide an avenue to study practical chemical situations, such as solubility, acid base reactions, and electrochemistry. Some practical experimentation forms a part of this course.
