CHE1045R: General Chemistry I

Abstract

Course Description This is the first semester of the two semester General Chemistry sequence. Topics to be covered include stoichiometry, aqueous chemical reactions, energy changes in reactions, properties of gases, atomic structure, molecular structure, and theories of chemical bonding. The focus of this course will be on training you to apply the concepts to solve interesting problems. Though some memorization will be required, like names of polyatomic ions, the emphasis will be on application. The course satisfies the pre-medical and pre-dental and SCI requirements of the College. This course also serves as an introduction to a major in Chemistry and Biochemistry.
