Institution:

Kapiolani Community College

Subject:

Description:

3 hours lab per week Prerequisite(s): MATH 25; credit or concurrent enrollment in CHEM 161. Recommended Preparation: MATH 103, 135. CHEM 161L develops practical laboratory skills. Topics may include density, specific gravity, specific heat, chemical and physical properties, analysis of a mixture, molecular structure, and specific heat. Upon successful completion of CHEM 161L, the student should be able to: Utilize laboratory equipment to measure mass, volume, heat of reactions, density and specific gravity, according to published procedures. Perform experiments that demonstrate physical and chemical properties of compounds. Identify and predict the molecular structure of compounds. Record data accurately and in proper form on the lab report sheets. Calculate descriptive properties of matter such as: density, mass, volume, concentration, yield of reactions, chemical formulas, etc. Also, plot data, and write out chemical equations. Student Learning Outcomes for CHEM 161L: (A) The student will be able to apply mathematical problem solving skills in more advanced chemistry courses, other science courses, or in the workplace. (B) The student will develop critical thinking/problem solving skills and apply them in more advanced chemistry courses, other science courses, or in the workplace. (C) The student will gain "hands-on" experience in using laboratory equipment, hardware, and glassware and utilize these skills in more advanced chemistry and other science courses or in the laboratory workplace.
