| CHEM161: General Chemistry I |
| Credits: 3 |
| CHEM 161 is the first course in a two-semester sequence of general chemistry. CHEM 161 introduces the basic principles of chemistry including the metric system, atomic and molecular structure, periodic trends and chemical bonding, the mole concept, writing and balancing chemical equations, stoichiometry and heat of reactions. The course was designed to provide the student with an adequate background in the fundamental concepts of chemistry. Problem solving is emphasized. |
| Prereq: A grade of C or higher in MATH 103., Coreq: - |
| CHEM161L: General Chemistry I Lab |
| Credits: 1 |
| CHEM 161L is an optional laboratory course that accompanies CHEM 161 lecture. Experiments are performed which relate to the lecture material in CHEM 161. The student will develop practical laboratory skills and achieve a satisfactory level of competency in using laboratory equipment. The student will view first-hand some of the chemical principles and laws of chemistry that are discussed in lecture. The student will use the scientific method of inquiry. CHEM 161L develops practical laboratory skills. Topics may include density, specific gravity, specific heat, chemical and physical properties, analysis of a mixture, and molecular structure. |
| Prereq: A grade of C or higher in MATH 103 and credit or concurrent enrollment in CHEM 161., Coreq: - |
| CHEM162: General Chemistry II |
| Credits: 3 |
| CHEM 162 introduces additional basic principles of chemistry including kinetics, equilibrium, PH, redox reactions, electrochemistry, acid-base chemistry, gas laws, electrolytes, thermodynamics, and matter and changes of state. |
