To learn to interpret and reason using basic chemical concepts, law, and theories. Mathematical relationships will be introduced and will be used to solve problems which are commonly encountered in scientific and engineering endeavors. Goggles must be worn in the laboratory. Ordinary glasses, even those with special glass, do not fulfill the requirements of the Tennessee Safety Law.
Students are responsible for having goggles for every laboratory.
Goggles may be purchased on the first day of laboratory from the ACS Student Affiliates who will come to your lab the first day. Goggles may also be purchased at the University Bookstore.
