Chemistry

Explores and applies principles and applications of chemistry. Emphasis on measurement, components of matter, atomic and molecular structure, quantitative relationships including foundational stoichiometry, and major classes of chemical reactions. CH/CHE/CHEM 221Z is a lecture course; CH/CHE/CHEM 227Z is the laboratory component.

Addendum to Course Description

Chemistry 221 is the first of a three term chemistry sequence designed to provide a year of general chemistry to science majors (5 credits/term). It will meet transfer school requirements for such science majors as: chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, pre-medicine, and other pre-professional programs. The class consists of lecture and laboratory. The lecture time is used to provide the student with foundational chemical concepts and mathematical applications to chemistry. The laboratory re-enforces concepts presented in lecture and provides the student a hands-on opportunity to explore these.

Explores and applies principles presented in CH/CHE/CHEM 221Z to the study of the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of matter. Principles of stoichiometry, thermochemistry, kinetics, and foundational equilibrium are explored and applied to the study of aqueous and gas-phase chemical reactions. CH/CHE/CHEM 222Z is a lecture course; CH/CHE/CHEM 228Z is the laboratory component. 

Addendum to Course Description

Chemistry 222 is the second of a three terms, 15-credit hour (5 hours/term), chemistry sequence designed to provide a year of general chemistry to science majors. It will meet transfer school requirements for such science majors as: chemistry, physics, chemical engineering, pre-medicine, and other pre-professional programs. The class consists of lecture, and laboratory. The lecture time is used to provide the student with basic chemical concepts and mathematical applications to chemistry.  The laboratory re-enforces concepts presented in lecture and provides the student a hands-on opportunity to explore these.

Builds upon the principles presented in CH/CHE/CHEM 222Z, explores thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium, and applies them to the study of aqueous acid-base reactions, solubility, and electrochemistry. CH/CHE/CHEM 223Z is a lecture course; CH/CHE/CHEM 229Z is the laboratory component.
