CH 110 - The Chemistry of Everyday Life

Institution:

Mitchell College

Subject:

Description:

4 credits (spring) An introductory course in chemistry for either the science major without a high school chemistry background or the non-science major requiring a one semester lab course in science. This course introduces the student to the basic concepts of chemistry through experiments related to everyday life. It requires basic math skills but its pace will allow time for review of the math skills necessary to be successful in the course. The course introduces the student to the elements and compounds, their properties and reactions. Topics include nomenclature, balancing equations, stoichiometry, chemical bonding, solutions, the periodic table, and scientific method. The relationships between chemistry, the environment, industry, and everyday life are emphasized. Does not substitute for CH111. Laboratory exercises introduce students to equipment and procedures of a chemical laboratory and the safe handling of chemicals. Experiments are designed to demonstrate concepts covered in the lecture material using equipment and chemicals that students are familiar with. They include the measurement of physical properties, chemical reactions, separation techniques, acids and bases, electrochemical reactions, and thermochemistry. Recommended for non-science majors not requiring an 8-credit science sequence. Not open for credit to students who have passed CH111 or CH112. NOTE: Three hours lecture and two hours laboratory per week.
