CHEM 120 — General Chemistry I with Lab
This is the first semester of a two -semester college chemistry sequence. The topics discussed begin with physical and chemical property definitions and dimensional analysis. Chemical reactions and reaction stoichiometry are studied in the context of aqueous solutions. Types of aqueous reactions are investigated (i.e., acid/base, oxidation/reduction) as well as quantitative aspects of the reactions (i.e., molar solutions, di lutions, titrations, limiting reagents, reaction yields). Topics in gaseous -state chemistry and introduction to basic thermodynamics, quantum theory, electronic structure of atoms, basic chemical bonding, molecular geometry and molecular orbitals follow the reaction chemistry section. Prerequisite(s): ENGL-080 or ENGL-101, or appropriate placement Corequisite(s): MATH-130 or MATH-140
