Lecture will emphasize the facts, principles, and theories of general chemistry including math operations, matter and energy, atomic structure, symbols and formulas, nomenclature, the periodic table, bonding concepts, equations, stoichiometry, gas laws, phases of matter, solutions, pH, and equilibrium reactions.
Laboratory is required.
This is a survey course of organic chemistry and biochemistry for students who do not intend to major in science or engineering. Topics include basic nomenclature, classification of organic compounds, typical organic reactions, reactions involved in life processes, function of biomolecules, and the handling and disposal of organic compounds. Laboratory is required. This is the first course in a two-semester sequence designed for the science or engineering major who is expected to have a strong background in mathematics. Topics include measurement, thermochemistry, chemical and physical properties, bonding, molecular structure, gas laws, kinetic-molecular theory, condensed matter, solutions, colloids, and some descriptive chemistry topics.
