12 courses with the subject CHEM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
CHEM 110Introduction to Chemistry3
How does chemistry shape the processes of life, the air we breathe, the energy we use, and the materials that define our daily lives? This course invites students to explore the molecular foundations of health, sustainability, climate, and technology through current issues that matter now. From renewable energy to pharmaceuticals and emerging materials, students learn to evaluate evidence, balance risks and benefits, and understand how chemistry drives progress. With attention to ethical and global dimensions, students build the scientific literacy needed to navigate a rapidly changing world and critical 21st-century challenges.
A systematic development of the fundamental laws and theories of modern chemistry and the application of these principles to the chemistry of the elements and their compounds. Topics include: atomic structure, the periodic table and properties of elements, chemical bonding, stoichiometric relationships, thermochemistry, and states of matter.
The laboratory introduces basic synthetic and analytical techniques, including gravimetric analysis, qualitative analysis, small-scale calorimetry, and the use of computers for data collection and analysis.
This course is a continuation of general chemistry I and is designed to provide students an understanding of solutions, acids and bases, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and kinetics.
