Chemistry 115 Documents

 

Catalog Course Description: 

4 units, 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory

Prerequisite: A "Pass" grade in Mathematics 090 or equivalent.

 

Elementary principles of inorganic and general chemistry with an overview of organic and biochemistry. Basic chemical terminology, problem solving techniques and chemical explanations of our environment will be studied. Chemical concepts will be explained through common applications such as health science and forensic science. Previous chemistry background is helpful, but not required. This course is recommended for students needing a one semester general chemistry laboratory course. This course does not satisfy the prerequisite for Chemistry 141. Students will not receive credit for graduation for more than one of the following courses; Chemistry 113, Chemistry 115, and Chemistry 120. (Offered Fall, Spring, and Summer)

Chemistry 120 Documents

 

Catalog Course Description 

4 units, 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory

Prerequisite: "C" grade or higher or "Pass" in Mathematics 110 or equivalent.

 

A beginning general chemistry course for students with little or no background in chemistry. This course will prepare students for a full year general chemistry course. This course will be an intensive study in the areas of problem solving, basic atomic theory, chemical nomenclature, stoichiometry, gas laws, solutions, acid-base chemistry, and redox. The laboratory will be an introduction to quantitative techniques, descriptive chemistry, gas laws, and data treatment. Students will not receive credit toward graduation for more than one of the following courses; Chemistry 113, Chemistry 115, and Chemistry 120. (Offered Fall, Spring, Summer)

Chemistry 141 Documents

 

Catalog Course Description

5 units, 3 hours lecture, 6 hours laboratory
Prerequisite: A "C" grade or higher or "Pass" in Chemistry 120 or equivalent or the Chemistry 141 

assessment and a "C" grade or higher or "Pass" in Mathematics 110 or equivalent.

 

Basic principles and calculations of chemistry with emphasis in stoichiometry, gas laws, kinetic-molecular theory, basic equilibrium including gas phase and solution phase, pH, atomic and molecular structure,chemical bonding, and applications of the First Law of Thermodynamics. The laboratory is an introduction to classical and instrumental analysis, the principles of equilibrium and atom and molecular structures. (Offered Fall, Spring, Summer)
