Catalog Description
Basic principles of inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on problem solving. First course of a two-course sequence designed to meet the one-year General Chemistry requirement for pre-med, science and engineering majors. Topics include chemical calculations, electronic structure, chemical bonding, states of matter and solutions.
Concurrent registration in CHEM 161L is required. (Offered Fall semesters only). (3 hrs. lect.)
Prerequisite: A grade of “C” or better in Math 27 or MATH 103, or placement into Math 135 or instructor’s consent.
Co-requisite: Registration in CHEM 161L.
Recommended Preparation: Student should have taken high school chemistry, CHEM 100 or CHEM 151.
Student Learning Outcomes
- Use the mole concept in solving stoichiometry problems involving solids, liquids, gases and solutions.
- Balance chemical equations, classify reactions, identify and analyze the role of the chemicals involved in chemical reactions.
- Predict the behavior of gases while undergoing changes in volume, pressure, temperature and quantity.
- Manipulate thermochemical equations and calculate the amount of energy involved in chemical reactions.
- Predict physical and chemical properties of elements based on electronic structure and location in the Periodic Table.
