STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:
Apply a variety of appropriate problem-solving tools, including algebraic manipulation of mathematical formulas, dimensional analysis, use of mole relationships, and graphing of chemically relevant quantities, to the solution of chemical problems.
Apply fundamental chemical models relating to atomic theory, chemical bonding, periodic properties of the elements, solution properties, and gas properties to the analysis and description of chemical systems.
Communicate scientific concepts and data, including the use of standard chemical nomenclature, terminology, and symbolism.
Apply standard laboratory methods to the handling and disposing of chemicals, use of instruments, analysis of data, and documentation of procedures and results.
