However, special and more in-depth treatments of selected topics are presented in Honors General Chemistry. Also, lecture demonstrations of chemical principles are used frequently in the course. Satisfies 4 hours of Natural Sciences general education requirement. In addition to covering special material in lecture, the lab is designed to provide some unique experiments that are not possible in our regular freshman sequence. The laboratory portion of the course helps make Chemistry 125 a unique course.
Students have the opportunity to do more advanced experiments in the lab.
Additionally, there is the opportunity to work with sophisticated chemical instrumentation, the same instruments that juniors and seniors use, including a visible spectrophotometer, an infrared spectrophotometer, and a gas chromatography mass spectrometer. The lab represents a special learning opportunity for students interested in science and chemistry in particular.
