CHE 1505 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY I
credits: 3.0
This is the first of a two-term introductory chemistry course designed for the science major. The purpose of this course is to give students extensive training on the concepts encountered in the basic chemical sciences. Students will learn how to apply analytical thinking and problem solving techniques to areas of chemistry including: modern atomic theory, molecules, compounds, the mole, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, gases, the Periodic Table and periodicity. Completion of the two-term sequence will prepare students for more advanced chemistry courses. Objectives: A) Demonstrate a basic understanding of the atomic and molecular nature of matter; B) Demonstrate a basic understanding of chemical reactions and stoichiometry; C) Demonstrate a basic understanding of gases and thermochemistry; E) Apply fundamental principles encountered in the chemical sciences toward the examination, evaluation and solution of complex chemical problems; F) Employ basic mathematical concepts to solve complex chemical problems. Method of Instruction: Lecture, active group discussion and problem-solving in small groups as well as independently at the board. Method of Evaluation: Grading for this course will be based on homework (10%), quizzes (30%), and exams (60%). Meets *MQR Distribution Requirements.
