CH102 General Chemistry, Spring 2022

http://genchem.bu.edu/ch102-spring-2022/schedule.html


Lecture topics and assigned problems

In this semester we cover McQuarrie et al., chapters 15 through 25. A PDF with the detailed (tentative) schedule of topics that will be covered in each MWF and TR lecture, discussion, prelab lecture, and lab can be downloaded here: Detailed Schedule.

The requried problems assigned for each chapter will be listed below. While these will not be collected, these problems will prepare you for the assessments in the course (quizzes and final exam). You are required to solve these problems in your course notebook.
