Institution:

Spokane Community College

Subject:

Description:

Formerly CHEM 141. This series offers rigorous instruction in general chemistry. Topics include measurements, atomic structure, ionic and molecular compounds, aqueous solutions and molarity, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, gases, quantum theory and electronic structure, periodicity, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, solid and liquid states, solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acids and bases, solubility equilibriums, thermo chemistry and chemical thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Other topics selected at the discretion of the instructor include nuclear chemistry, coordination chemistry, environmental chemistry, organic and biochemistry, modern materials, etc. Lab involves both qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemistry with necessary accuracy for such work. Note: the topics in this three-quarter sequence may be presented in various orders depending on the institution and the text used. Students are strongly encouraged to complete all three courses at the same institution to help ensure coverage of the full range of important topics in general chemistry. Prerequisite: Two years of high school algebra or MATH& 141 (formerly MATH 111)(may be taken concurrently). One year of high school chemistry with a 2.0 grade or better or CHEM& 110 (formerly CHEM 100) or permission of instructor. (SCC, SFCC)
