This course: Explores the fundamental laws, theories, and mathematical concepts of chemistry. Designed primarily for science and engineering majors. Requires a strong background in mathematics. Part I of II. Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 3 hours. Total 6 hours per week
In this course, the student will be responsible for learning the course materials that are generally taught in the first half of a general or college chemistry class. This is a transfer course and will cover the same material presented in any college or university course. Chemistry 111-112 is an introductory general inorganic chemistry course primarily for students majoring in the sciences or engineering. The principles and processes of chemistry developed in this course provide students with the ability to critically evaluate chemical information, both as scientists and as citizens. The course also provides the background material required for other courses in chemistry, biology, physics and engineering.
This course will cover the materials discussed in the text book with homework, quizzes, tests and writing assignments. The topics covered correspond to the objectives of the course as provided in the Course Outline or presented in the Chapter Objectives from the text.
Help students develop an understanding of basic chemical vocabulary, principles and problem solving techniques.
Expose students to the role of chemistry in their world.
The Course Outline and Chapter Objectives
This course is designed to meet the requirement of a college level chemistry course for the JSRCC science and engineering program. This course will transfer to any 4 year university as General Chemistry or the first year of chemistry required for all science and engineering programs. This course is equivalent to CHEM 101 at VCU. This course requires that the student be prepared to read and write at a college level and have a good working knowledge of algebra, geometry and trigonometry. The student should be in or have completed a pre calculus level course.
