CH 221 - General Chemistry

Institution:

Lane Community College

Subject:

Description:

5 credits Prerequisite: MTH 095 or above with grade of 'C-' or better or pass placement test. This three term sequence (CH 221, CH 222, CH 223) is for college transfer science and engineering majors. It must be taken in order. The classes are designed to prepare the student for further work in chemistry, biology, physics, many engineering fields, pre-medicine, and some allied health fields. General Chemistry focuses on inorganic chemistry and provides a basic understanding of the structure of matter, the changes matter undergoes, and the energy associated with those changes. Laboratory activities are designed to acquaint the student with standard laboratory procedures and to illustrate concepts discussed in lecture while emphasizing safety and conservation principles. Topics covered in General Chemistry include: basic concepts of chemistry, systems and units of measurement, chemical nomenclature, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, behavior of gases, atomic structure, chemical bonding and molecular structure, solution chemistry, condensed phases, acid base chemistry, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and organic chemistry. The lab explores chemical safety and risk assessment, methods of measurement, chemical changes, separations, volumetric (titrametric) analysis, synthesis, spectroscopy and calorimetry.The current order of presentation is available at: lanecc.edu/science/chemistr/chemis.htm. General Chemistry 1 is the first term of a three term sequence. NOTE: Introductory Chemistry 1, CH 104 is recommended as a preparatory course for those who have little or no chemistry background.
