GEO 200, a statutory requirement, must be taken in addition to above sequence. C-I 381, an administrative code requirement, will also be required for any student with a major in any certifiable science. Contemporary Chemistry A survey course focusing on applied chemistry. Fundamental chemistry and science concepts are developed and then used to study applications of this science to technology in society.
Emphasis is placed on selected topics that are current.
Course is not applicable to a major or minor in chemistry and does not meet the prerequisite requirement of any other chemistry course. An introduction to chemistry including topics in atomic structure, chemical bonding molecular structure, chemical stoichiometry, reactivity, states of matter, solutions, acid-base theory, and nuclear chemistry, and also including selected topics in descriptive and applied chemistry. Scientific inquiry, experimental design and data analysis are included. An introduction to the topics of chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, gas equilibria, ionic equilibria and solubility in aqueous systems, electrochemistry, organic chemistry and selected topics in descriptive inorganic chemistry. Qualitative analysis is included in the laboratory portion of this course.
