This is the first quarter of college-level General Chemistry. General Chemistry is appropriate for students on science, engineering, pre-med, and similar pathways. This course covers measurements, the structure of matter, compounds, stoichiometry, classes of chemical reactions, gases, thermochemistry, and the quantum mechanical model of hydrogen.
Outcomes
- Students apply dimensional analysis and quantitative reasoning to solve chemical problems.
- Students describe atomic structure and periodic trends and relate them to chemical properties.
- Students write, classify, and balance chemical equations and perform stoichiometric calculations.
- Students analyze gases, thermochemistry, and solution chemistry using mathematical relationships.
- Students interpret laboratory data and evaluate accuracy and precision of measurements.
- Students communicate chemical concepts and results using appropriate terminology and representations.
