Search for Course Equivalencies

This course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. For some students, this course enables them to undertake, as freshmen, second-year work in the chemistry sequence at their institution or to register for courses in other fields where general chemistry is a prerequisite. For other students, the AP Chemistry course fulfills the laboratory science requirement and frees time for other courses.

Credits: 3 Catalog Description: Introduces principles of chemistry with an emphasis on the environment, including measurement (English and metric systems); ionic and covalent compounds; stoichiometry (mass-mol relations); properties of solids, liquids, and gases; chemical bonding and molecular geometry; acids and bases; principles of organic chemistry; energy sources of today and tomorrow; and problems associated with contamination of the environment. Two class hours and two lab hours.Not open to students with credit in BIO 112, BIO 113, BIO 115, BIO 116, CHE 101 or PHY 131. Prerequisite: MAT 092 or equivalent.
