The course provides a general introduction to both inorganic and organic chemistry and stresses applications of chemistry in the commercial, industrial and technological components of society. A survey of general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. Basic principles as applied to health science will be covered. The lab will be a practical application of the principles covered in lecture. An introduction to chemistry by developing fundamental tools such as problem solving methods and the concept of the mole.
Major topics covered include stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure and states of matter.
I Students are introduced to basic laboratory techniques. Experiments will reinforce materials covered in the lecture component of this course. A continuation of CH 107 with major topics covered including solutions, chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, equilibria, and an introduction to descriptive chemistry. A continuation of CH 107L with experiments relating to kinetics, equilibna, thermodynamics, and qualitative analysis. A non-laboratory course intended for athletic training majors.
