Chemistry I and Lab

Catalog description

Study of chemical reactions and equations, periodic relationships, the gaseous state, and the fundamentals of atomic theory, quantum theory, electronic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry and thermochemistry. Students will learn skills in balancing equations using gas rules and solubility. Lab will include introduction to basic principles, theories, and practices of general chemistry laboratory. Upon successful completion of this course the student will have gained the following competencies: use safety practices in the laboratory; draw graphs using correct techniques; determine the relationship between mass and volume of an object: acquire knowledge about relationships in the gas laws; perform titrations; write chemical equations; develop laboratory techniques using volumetric glassware; analyze a given situation; determine methods to perform test to identify unknown substances.
