Class hours: 3.0 Lecture/6.0 Laboratory Prerequisite: CHEM 110 or equivalent with a grade of Pass or "C" or higher and MATH 80 or MATH 80B or equivalent with grades of Pass or "C" or higher (satisfactory completion of the Math Placement Process may be substituted for MATH 80). Recommendation: It is strongly recommended that all of the preceding prerequisites be completed within four years prior to the date of enrollment in CHEM 111. This course is designed for science majors. It includes stoichiometry; properties and changes of state for gases, liquids and solids; solutions; colloids; equilibria of gases, weak acids and bases, and slightly soluble compounds. Transfer Credit: CSU; UC

Introduces general chemistry and explores topics to a much greater depth than preparatory courses. Topics include: measurement, energy and matter, periodic trends, chemical composition, chemical reactions, solutions, bond theory, gases, thermodynamics, problem-solving (applied mathematics) and special topics. Special Note: Assumes prior knowledge of algebra and high school chemistry. CHEM A105L is the lab component of this course and requires a separate registration.

Introductory chemistry laboratory course with experiments designed to introduce students to the basics of laboratory equipment, experimental methodology, data collection, data analysis and reporting. This course illustrates, augments and applies concepts covered in CHEM A105. Special Note: Students who do not meet the prerequisites for this course may be administratively dropped at the discretion of the faculty. Attendance is mandatory for all chemistry laboratory courses the first week of class. Unless prior arrangements are made with the instructor, any student who does not attend the first scheduled meeting for this lab may be administratively dropped and a student on a waiting list will be added in their place. Any fees resulting from either of these drop procedures or any late registration procedure will be the responsibility of the student.
