Chemistry 111 - General Chemistry I: Structure And Equilibrium

Institution:

Macalester College

Subject:

Description:

This course offers a rigorous, foundational treatment of atoms and molecules. We study the nature of chemical bonding and how bonding gives rise to the three-dimensional structure of matter. We explore how the macroscopic properties of substances can be interpreted in terms of atomic and molecular structure. We also learn mathematical and conceptual tools for quantifying chemical equilibrium, with an emphasis on the reactions of acids and bases. Laboratory work reinforces concepts in lecture, and also provides a review of fundamental topics, such as stoichiometry, gas laws, and solution-phase reactions, that are essential for future course work in chemistry. Prerequisites: none. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Lab/materials fee is required. Fall semester. (4 credits)
