The course consists of a theoretical and mathematical treatment of some of the fundamental principles in general chemistry. One focus is on developing a student's problem-solving skills- enabling them to find algebraic solutions to word problems. This will include a review of important mathematical concepts. A second major emphasis is on development of a basic vocabulary related to chemical concepts, including chemical nomenclature. The composition and structure of different types of matter, and changes that it undergoes will be highlighted. Several types of simple inorganic reactions will be presented and the significance of the Periodic Table of the elements will be explained. The laboratory work is intended to develop skills in measurement, observation, use of simple chemical glassware and equipment, and in making deductions from observations and communicating them in a written report. This course serves to prepare students for entering general chemistry (Chemistry 101).

No Credit if taken after Chemistry 101.
Lecture 3 hours; Laboratory 4 hours.
This class may be offered periodically as an Internet-based class with an on-campus laboratory. This course is typically offered in both the winter and summer intersession.
Prerequisite: Mathematics 115 with a grade of “C” or better, or equivalent skill level demonstrated through the mathematics placement process.
Recommendation: Eligibility for English 28.

Presents the principles and laws of chemistry as related to the structure of matter. Topics covered include a comparison of the states of matter; atomic structure and the periodic table; stoichiometry; thermochemistry and introductory thermodynamics; chemical bonding; solutions; solubility; acids and bases; introductory chemical equilibrium; phase changes; and an introduction to Molecular Orbital Theory. The laboratory work is intended to develop skills in observation, use of chemical glassware and equipment, making deductions from observations, analyzing results and communicating them in a written laboratory report.
