Institution:

Antelope Valley College

Subject:

Description:

5 units 9 hours weekly (3 hours lecture, 6 hours lab) Prerequisite: Completion of CHEM 110 and MATH 130 or MATH 140. Advisory: Eligibility for College Level Reading and ENGL 101. Investigates and quantifies, where possible, the kinetics, entropy, and enthalpy that underlie chemical reactivity. Relates these concepts to chemical equilibrium. Explores application of equilibrium to colligative properties of solutions, acid-base chemistry, precipitation from aqueous solutions, electrochemistry and coordination compounds. Algebra is used extensively in the development of these topics. Includes a cursory introduction to the fields of nuclear, organic, polymer and biochemistry. Examines chemical theory in the context of familiar phenomena. Theories are tested and evaluated in the laboratory. One hour of lecture time is reserved for small group activities and analysis. This course is designed for science, mathematics and related majors. [CAN CHEM 4] (CSU, UC, AVC) Special Note: CHEM 120 (formerly 3.0 units) is equivalent to CHEM 120X and CHEM 120L (formerly 2.0 units) is equivalent to CHEM 120LX effective fall 1999 through summer 2005.
