Course Search
Courses may be offered in one of the following modalities:
- Traditional in-person courses (0–29 percent of coursework is delivered online, the majority being offered in person.)
- Hybrid/blended courses (30–79 percent of coursework is delivered online.)
- Online courses (100 percent of coursework is delivered online, either synchronously on a designated day and time or asynchronously as a deadline-driven course.)
- Hyflex (Students will be assigned to attend in-person or live streamed sessions as a reduced-size cohort on a rotating basis; live sessions are also recorded, offering students the option to participate synchronously or view asynchronously as needed.)
If you are enrolled in courses delivered in traditional or hybrid modalities, you will be expected to attend face-to-face instruction as scheduled.
CHE 111: General Chemistry I
4 credits
This is the first half of a one-year course that emphasizes the fundamental principles and laws of chemistry. There are three hours of class and one laboratory period per week. A required recitation meets one hour per week. (Learning Goals:Q;Distribution Reqs:Natural Sciences)
Learning Goals
•Distinguish between the physical and chemical properties of matter• Perform mathematical operations involving significant figures• Convert units using different systems, scales, prefixes• Express quantitative information in scientific notation, and carry out calculations with attention to the proper use of significant figures• Explain the law of conservation of mass, the law of definite composition, and the law of multiple proportions• Summarize the essential points of Dalton’s atomic theory• Name ionic compounds, molecular compounds, and acids using the rules for nomenclature of inorganic compounds.; be able to, given the name of a compound, write its formula• Balance chemical equation and the mole, and apply these concepts to solve stoichiometry problems• Describe and distinguish between precipitation, acid-base, and oxidation-reduction reactions in aqueous solution• Use the unit of molarity to deal with stoichiometry problems in solution• Understand the gas laws Boyle’s, Charles’s, Avogradro’s, Dalton’s, idea• Describe the kinetic-molecular theory of gases and apply it to both idea and real gases• Define the First Law of Thermodynamics, the concept of enthalpy, and enthalpies of formation; apply these to determining the heats of reaction• Describe the quantum nature of radiation and the quantum numbers associated with electrons in atoms• Define the term “atom”• Describe the line spectrum of the hydrogen atom• Describe the meaning of the deBroglie Equation, and the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle• Describe electron configurations• Apply the Aufbau principle, the Pauli Exclusion Principle, and Hund’s Rules to determine the electronic structure of atoms• Describe the connections between the electronic structure of atoms and the periodic table structure• Define the term of covalent, polar covalent and ionic bonding• Estimate the heat of a reaction from a table of bond energies• Explain the relationship between enthalpy change and a reaction’s tendency to occur• Draw Lewis structures of a variety of molecules• Represent a molecule by several Lewis structures (resonance); apply the concept of formal charge to determine which of several Lewis structures is the most important• Use the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory to predict the 3D shape of small molecules• Describe the fundamental features of the valence bond and molecular orbital theories of chemical bonding
