Prerequisite: MAT 133 or equivalent, or coenrollment in CHM 099. CHM 111 is the first course in a two-part sequence that introduces students to the fundamental principles of chemistry. It studies matter and its transformation in chemical reactions. The states of matter, stoichiometry, equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry are treated in detail and are explained on the basis of atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, and the kinetic molecular theory. Laboratory work introduces volumetric and simple analytical techniques in chemistry. The course includes three one-hour lectures and one three-hour laboratory each week. (Every year)

This course is an introduction to 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: CHEM F105X-F106X, together with their laboratory components, constitute the standard one year engineering and science major general chemistry course. Students must be enrolled in both CHEM F105X and CHEM F105L to receive full credit. Prerequisites: Placement in WRTG F111X; placement in MATH F151X; or a B- or better in CHEM F103X; or permission of instructor and department. Corequisite: CHEM F105L.
