Chemistry (CHEM)

This survey of general principles and descriptive chemistry is intended for students with no previous background in chemistry. Topics include atoms and molecules; moles and formulas; properties of solids, liquids, and gases; enthalpy and entropy; acids and bases; chemical composition; stoichiometry; and equilibria.

In this course, students are introduced to the illustration and practice of laboratory techniques as well as application of the chemical principles presented in CHEM 151.

This course is an introduction to the basics of college chemistry. Topics include chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-bases, acid-base equilibrium, solubility, solubility equilibrium, entropy, electrochemistry, coordination, and nuclear chemistry.

This course is an introduction to chemical principles and procedures in the laboratory.

CHEM 162 is a continuation of CHEM 161. This course introduces additional basic principles of chemistry including kinetics, equilibrium, pH, redox reactions, electrochemistry, acid-base chemistry, gas laws, electrolytes, thermodynamics, matter and changes of state, and nuclear chemistry.

This course is an introduction to chemical principles and procedures in the laboratory that complement CHEM 162. It is intended to provide laboratory experiences that focus on general Chemistry principles related to analysis, stasis, laws, and reactions.
