CHM 102 - Preparatory Chemistry
An introductory course in chemistry emphasizing problem solving techniques related to chemical concepts, atomic structure, stoichiometry, metric units, chemical bonding, and molecular geometry. This course is for students planning to take General Chemistry I but have not yet fulfilled the General Chemistry I chemistry knowledge prerequisite. Students with third year high school level algebra knowledge are positioned to succeed in CHM 102.
Credits: 4
Hours
3 Class Hours, 3 Laboratory Hours
Course Profile
Learning Outcomes of the Course:
Upon successful completion of this course the student will be able to:
- Demonstrate scientific reasoning applied to the natural world, including:
(a) an understanding of the methods scientists use to explore natural phenomena, including observation, hypothesis development, measurement and data collection, experimentation, evaluation of evidence, and
employment of data analysis or mathematical modeling and
(b) the application of scientific data, concepts, and models in the context of chemistry.
- Describe properties of matter at the subatomic, atomic, and macro scale level.
- Translate between chemical names and chemical formulas of simple binary compounds and simple acids.
- Perform mathematical manipulations, such as unit analysis, with proper attention to significant figures in the context of chemical calculations.
- Balance, classify, and predict the products of chemical equations.
- Explain pH and use it in calculations involving acidic or basic solutions.
- Predict shape and geometry of simple molecules.
