3 hrs This course includes biological molecules and metabolism. This course stresses the applications of chemistry to health related careers. Topics of study include problem solving, the periodic table, solution chemistry, equilibria, pH, redox, organic nomenclature, introduction to functional groups, organic reactions, biological molecules and metabolism. The history of chemistry, chemical equations, periodic law, atomic theory, and bonding are studied. The states of matter are introduced, gas laws and thermodynamic principles are considered in detail.
Problem solving is emphasized.
Laboratories reinforce concepts learned in the classroom. High school chemistry or SCI 102 and mathematics at the level of quadratics and logarithms are assumed. Liquid phenomena, solid state kinetics, equilibria, and electrochemistry are studied. Problem solving is emphasized. Laboratory reinforces concepts learned in lecture.
