CH 221 - General Chemistry 1 |
This three term sequence is for college transfer science and
engineering majors. It must be taken in order. The classes
are designed to prepare the student for further work in
chemistry, biology, physics, many engineering fields,
pre-medicine, and some allied health fields. General
Chemistry focuses on inorganic chemistry and provides a
basic understanding of the structure of matter, the changes
matter undergoes, and the energy associated with those
changes. Laboratory activities are designed to acquaint the
student with standard laboratory procedures and to
illustrate concepts discussed in lecture while emphasizing
safety and conservation principles. Topics covered in
General Chemistry include: basic concepts of chemistry,
systems and units of measurement, chemical nomenclature,
stochiometry, thermochemistry, behavior of gases, atomic
structure, chemical bonding and molecular structure,
solution chemistry, condensed phases, acid base chemistry,
kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry,
nuclear chemistry, and organic chemistry. The lab explores
chemical safety and risk assessment, methods of measurement,
chemical changes, separations, volumetric (titrametric)
analysis, synthesis, spectroscopy and calorimetry. The
current order of presentation is available at:

Chemistry 1 is the first term of a three term sequence.
