CHEM 100 - Chemistry and Man KCC AA/DP and KCC AS/NS

Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

3 hours lecture per week Prerequisite(s): MATH 24 with a grade of "C" or higher, or placement into MATH 25 or higher level math, or one year of high school algebra. CHEM 100 is a survey of the basic concepts of general chemistry. CHEM 100 serves as a preparatory course for more advanced chemistry courses. Upon successful completion of CHEM 100, the student should be able to: Utilize the scientific method of inquiry. Solve metric-to-English conversion problems and vice versa. Convert within the metric system. Solve algebraic equations related to chemistry. Use algebraic and/or dimensional analysis methods to solve chemistry problems. Apply the rules for significant figures to calculations. Classify matter. Convert between temperature scales. Perform calculations related to density, specific gravity, specific heat, kinetic energy, electromagnetic radiation, and chemical bonding. Perform calculations related to the mole concept. Balance a chemical equation. Calculate, when given a balanced chemical equation and the moles of a reactant, the moles of a product produced in the reaction. Calculate, when given a balanced chemical equation and the weight of a reactant, the weight of a product produced in a reaction. Identify the type of chemical bonds possessed by a molecule or compound. Memorize the symbols of 35 elements, 15 polyatomic ions and the prefixes mono- through deca-(i.e. 1 through 10). Describe the atomic structure of the atom at a minimum according to the Bohr Theory. Describe the shape of S and P orbitals. Use the periodic table to delineate for "A" group atoms the number of protons, neutrons, electrons, outer shell electrons, ion charge, and final characterization as either a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid. Glean and use information from the periodic table. Calculate the atomic weight of an atom. Describe what occurs during absorption and emission of radiation by molecules and atoms. Distinguish between physical and chemical properties and changes. Distinguish between endothermic and exothermic reactions. Discuss the laws of chemistry. Write formulas for compounds and molecules. Name compounds and molecules. Calculate the percent composition of a compound. Calculate the empirical and molecular formula of a compound. Draw electron-dot structures for molecules. Define an acid and a base. Distinguish between weak and strong acids and bases. Explain chemical equilibrium. Calculate the pH and pOH of a solution. Calculate [H+] or [OH-] given Kw. Explain the relationships between gas solubility and temperature and pressure. Explain the relationship between the solubility of an ionic solid and temperature. Calculate the concentration of a solution in percent and molarity.
