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.

Prerequisite: MATH 1513 College Algebra This course includes the fundamental principles of this discipline such as the history and philosophy of chemistry, atomic theory and structure, types of compounds and chemical nomenclature, solutions and ionization, chemical reactions and stoichiometry, molecular bonding and structure, electron distribution and atomic spectra, nature of gases and gas laws, and thermochemistry. Laboratory activities will include topics such as basic measurements and analysis, preparation of solutions, chemical reactions and stoichiometry, molecular bonding and structure, electron distribution and atomic spectra, chromatography, photo spectroscopy, nature of gases and gas laws, and thermo chemistry. Note: This course is designed for students with strong math and science ability who typically progress to CHEM 1415 General Chemistry II with Lab. Lecture (4 semester credits) and laboratory (1 semester credit) are combined.
