Emphasis is on the fundamental concepts of chemistry and their application to the environment, pollution, energy resources, and other chemical topics of interest to the citizen. No prerequisites, but a High School course or CHEM 1400 is strongly recommended. Designed for students whose major or minor is in the field of natural science, mathematics, preprofessional health fields, preengineering, or teaching fields. This course counts for McMurry general education requirements. A study of fundamental concepts, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical reactions, chemical bonding, molecular structure, gases, liquids, and solids.
Emphasis is placed on mathematical relationships and problem solving.
A continuation of CHEM 1410. A study of solutions, chemical kinetics, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. The course is an introduction to the quantitative analysis of various materials. Laboratory work includes the analysis of materials encountered in everyday life. An advanced study of techniques used in structure determination.
