Where CHEM-2102 counts
Required by 6 programs:
Counts toward 4 more as one option among several, not as a course you must take:
Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 50 of 208 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.
Description
This course describes the principles and applications of thermodynamics, and the rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions. Laboratory work consists of experiments in the thermodynamics and kinetics of gases and solutions, and computer applications in data analysis and problem solving.
Requisite courses
CHEM-1111, CHEM-1112, and either MATH-1101, or MATH-1103 and MATH-1104 [prerequisite(s)]; CHEM-2102L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).
Restrictions
Students may not hold credit for this course and CHEM-2101.
From the 2026-27 undergraduate calendar. Always verify details on WebAdvisor or with an academic advisor before registering.
