CHEM06035 2019 Chemistry 2
This module introduces student to fundamentals of Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
Describe the structural characteristics of the various homologous series and functional groups.
Outline the chemical reactivity of different families of organic compounds.
Explain the basic principles the kinetic theory and of the Gas Laws.
Identify the factors which affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
Solve a range of practical problems through the safe use of chemical equipment and techniques.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be delivered full‑time. It will include lectures, tutorials and laboratory practicals.THis approach is expected to address student learning needs. Moodle will be used as a repository of educational resources and as a means of assessment. .
Module Assessment Strategies

Required & Recommended Book List
2015-01-02 Chemistry: Principles and Reactions Cengage Learning
ISBN 130507937X ISBN-13 9781305079373
This latest edition of CHEMISTRY: PRINCIPLES AND REACTIONS takes students directly to the crux of chemistry's fundamental concepts and allows you to efficiently cover all topics found in a typical general chemistry book. Based on the authors' extensive teaching experience, the book includes rigorous graded and concept-driven examples, as well as examples that focus on molecular reasoning and understanding. The Eighth Edition features a new and innovative example format, new talking labels within artwork, 25% new or revised problems, Chemistry: Beyond the Classroom essays that highlight some of the most up-to-date uses of chemistry, and end-of-chapter questions and Key Concepts that correlate to OWLv2, the #1 online homework and tutorial system for chemistry. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
2016-01-01 General Chemistry Cengage Learning
ISBN 9781305580343 ISBN-13 1305580346
The eleventh edition was carefully reviewed with an eye toward strengthening the content available in OWLv2, end-of-chapter questions, and updating the presentation. Nomenclature changes and the adoption of IUPAC periodic table conventions are highlights of the narrative revisions, along with changes to the discussion of d orbitals. In-text examples have been reformatted to facilitate learning, and the accompanying Interactive Examples in OWLv2 have been redesigned to better parallel the problem-solving approach in the narrative. New Capstone Problems have been added to a number of chapters. Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
