32 courses with the subject CH, 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.
CH 101College Chemistry I
3c-2l-4sh The basic principles and concepts of inorganic chemistry are developed from the standpoint of atomic and molecular structure with illustrative examples from descriptive chemistry. The laboratory portion of the course illustrates physical and chemical properties in a qualitative and quantitative manner. The course is designed for selected majors within the College of Health and Human Services.
3c-2l-4sh The basic fundamental principles and concepts of organic and biochemistry are developed. Deals primarily with structural features of organic compounds, the chemistry of functional groups, and practical examples and uses of organic compounds. The laboratory portion illustrates properties and reactions of representative organic compounds. The course is designed for selected majors within the College of Health and Human Services.
3c-3l-4sh Lecture-discussion of principles of chemistry, including theory and applications. The lab illustrates principles discussed. Topics discussed include scientific measurements, simple definitions and concepts, the mole, stoichiometry, gas laws, electronic structure of the atom, bonding, thermochemistry, and descriptive chemistry of the elements.
3c-3l-4sh Continuation of General Chemistry I. Topics discussed include the solid and liquid state, solutions, kinetics, equilibria, acids and bases, solubility equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, and descriptive chemistry of the elements.
