CH 104 - Introductory Chemistry

Institution:

Lane Community College

Subject:

Description:

5 credits Prerequisite: MTH 052 or above with grade of 'C-' or better or pass placement test. This three term sequence (CH 104, CH 105, CH 106) must be taken in order. It is designed for students who are in the health care fields and other non-science major programs and who need only an introduction to chemistry. This sequence acquaints students with the quantitative aspects of chemistry, and the foundation concepts/practices of inorganic, organic, and biological chemistry. The laboratory part of the course supports concepts addressed in the classroom and introduces standard laboratory procedures, safety considerations, and conservation principles. The laboratory and lecture/discussion sessions are taught by the same instructor in groups of approximately 24-30 students to provide for considerable individual assistance. NOTE: CH 104 is sometimes used as a preliminary course for those who need the General Chemistry sequence but want to start at a more elementary level. However, the credits for CH 104 usually DO NOT count toward a science major's degree after the General Chemistry sequence is completed. An online version of Introductory Chemistry 1 may be offered through Distance Learning. Requirements include ready access to a computer with modem or other internet access, and working knowledge of keyboard/mouse functions, plain text format. Students will have electronic contact with one another and with the instructor. While the online format allows much of the work to be done any time of day and any day of the week, a total of five on campus sessions will be held on the LCC main campus for orientation, labs, and exams. CH 104 course topics include beginning terminology, symbols, concepts, problem-solving techniques, and lab techniques for inorganic chemistry, the foundation of other branches of chemistry. The student who earns credit with a grade of 'C-' or better should be prepared to continue into CH 105. This course does not serve as a prerequisite for second year chemistry courses such as Organic Chemistry numbered 200's or 300's.
