Chemistry 1411 is an introductory level survey course in general chemistry with laboratory. We will cover the first 14 chapters in the text. What you see is what you get. The course content as found in the text and optional suggested lecture outline are exactly what is covered in this class. Topics include chemical symbols, equations, stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, bonding, states of matter, and gas laws.
Calculations are an integral part of the course.
Algebra, through quadratic equations is a must. This is the single best indicator of success in this class. Completion of a high school level chemistry class is not required, but obviously a well earned advantage. A science background equivalent to the combined introductory physics and chemistry formerly called ninth grade physical science is assumed. The student will demonstrate competency in basic laboratory procedures and reporting.
