This course is a continuation of General Chemistry (I). It is designed to introduce some basic chemical facts and theories about solutions, kinetics, dynamic equilibrium, thermo-dynamics, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry

The main aim of this course is to give the student a thorough background about the principles of the topics mentioned in the content. Hopefully, this course will expand the student knowledge so that it can constitute a basis for further scientific studies and to evaluate scientific information.

At the end of this course students should be able to;

1. Apply the kinetic molecular theory to liquids and solids and demonstrate an understanding of inter-molecular forces, phase transitions and phase diagrams.
2. Describe various types of solutions, calculate their concentrations using different units and explore their properties.
3. Explain the relationship between concentration of reactants and time, and investigate the rate laws and mechanisms.
4. Understand the concept of equilibrium and the relationship between equilibrium and chemical kinetics.
5. Explain the properties of solutions of acids and bases including pH, solubility, common-ion effect and buffers.
6. Understand the laws of thermodynamic and the relation between free energy and chemical equilibrium.
7. Balance redox equations and calculate cell potentials.
8. Demonstrate an understanding of the nature of nuclear reactions and their applications.
