CHEM 121 : GENERAL CHEMISTRY I (NQ)

The first of a two-course survey of the principles of chemistry appropriate for science majors. Topics include stoichiometry, the main classes of reactions, atomic and molecular structure, thermochemistry, and phase behavior. The associated lab elaborates on the material discussed in class and introduces laboratory techniques including the use of modern instrumentation. Entering students are expected to have a working knowledge of high school chemistry, algebra, logarithms, and scientific notation.
