CHEM 211L - General Chemistry I (laboratory)

Description
In this course, students will be given a quantitative introduction to atomic and molecular structure, states

of matter, basic thermodynamics, and the chemistry of solutions. Key concepts will be illustrated through

sample problems discussed during class. Through this course, students will become conversant in chemical

terminology, symbols, and formulas, and appreciate how chemistry relates to medicine and impacts their larger

society. Students will also learn how to manipulate mathematical equations that describe atomic and

electronic interactions. States of matter will be categorized, and the Periodic Table of the Elements will be

studied to understand chemical periodicity and bonding. Gas laws will be introduced to demonstrate how

the properties of large populations of atoms and molecules can be predicted. Finally, the laws of

thermodynamics will be described, including the concepts of enthalpy and entropy, which can be used to

predict the outcomes of chemical reactions.
