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.

Introduction to chemistry covering measurements, classification and properties of matter, nomenclature, atomic structure and modern atomic theory, periodic table and chemical periodicity, and chemical bonding. Recommended for chemistry and other natural science majors, and pre-professional majors in engineering, medicine and dentistry. Successful completion of high school or college chemistry class with a lab component (e.g. CH 100) in the last 5 years required. Students who have not taken high school chemistry within the last 5 years are STRONGLY encouraged to take CH 100 before CH 221. Prerequisite: WR 115 and RD 115 or equivalent placement test scores. Prerequisite/concurrent: MTH 111B or MTH 111C.

Topics include: stoichiometry; chemical reactions and equations; thermochemistry; physical states of matter including properties of gases, liquids, solids and solutions; and, an introduction to organic chemistry. Special topics will be included as time and interest allows. Successful completion of Chem 221 and its prerequisites required.

Topics include: chemical kinetics and ionic equilibria; electrochemistry; nuclear chemistry; thermodynamics; and descriptive chemistry topics. Special topics will be included as time and interest allows. Prerequisites: CH 222 and its prerequisite requirements.
