For science and engineering majors. Introduction to stoichiometry, atomic structure, bonding, and reactions. Principles of solution chemistry and chemical thermodynamics included.

Principles of chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and equilibrium will be studied with emphasis on acid-base chemistry and electrochemistry. Other topics may include intermolecular forces, phase changes, colligative properties, organic chemistry, nuclear chemistry, polymers, and biochemistry.

This lab course teaches students how to use basic laboratory equipment as well as introduce them to laboratory techniques involved with fractional recrystallization, paper chromatography, identification and synthesis of ionic compounds, titrations, and calorimetry. Students practice accepted procedures for recording data in a laboratory notebook and write lab reports (including one formal report) for all experiments. Fee: $70

One three-hour laboratory per week. Fee: $60.

For special lower division study under the direction and with the permission of a faculty member. Content and credit to be arranged. Can be repeated.
