<p>At my school if you get consent from the instructor you can take O chem without having taken chem 2. Would this be difficult? Do you use many things from chem 2 in O chem. Im a civil engineering major/ environmental minor considering environmental for grad school.</p>
<p>Chem 2’s a fairly easy class, so you could always take it to pad your schedule one term or for an easy A.</p>
<p>From what I’m hearing from my instructor, we will use what we’re learning about acids and bases in O chem. This goes for buffers as well. </p>
<p>Chem 2 is a prerequisite for O chem at my school. There is, however, a survey O chem course that one only needs to take Chem 1 as a prerequisite, if that’s what you’re talking about. Otherwise, I think it would behoove you to take Chem 2 first.</p>
