Chemistry 142 is the second semester of the one-year general chemistry course (141-142). The basic principles and calculations of chemistry with emphasis on the areas of thermodynamics, kinetics, aqueous equilibrium, coordination chemistry, nuclear chemistry, and an introduction to organic chemistry will be studied. The laboratory will demonstrate the concepts introduced in lecture and in addition will introduce qualitative analysis. The course consists of three hours of lecture instruction and six hours of laboratory per week. Attendance at these sessions is required. Plan to spend, on the average, two hours per lecture hour and one hour per lab hour per week additional study time.

EDITOR'S NOTE
Editor’s Note: Through your CMS, tabs are variable in number (max=5-6, depending on tab heading length because tabs expand to fit text); have customizable heads; and may contain text, photos, videos, and hyperlinks. This is an example of applying the architecture and design to a faculty member who has already placed content on your current site. Other faculty members may need more or less space.
