Preparation for General Chemistry for CoC Majors

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course is designed to help develop fundamental laboratory techniques, study habits, chemical vocabulary, and knowledge of chemistry concepts needed to succeed in CHEM 4A. Students in the course will also come to know and belong to the larger College of Chemistry community, through panel discussions with CoC faculty, students, and staff, and immersion in current research via weekly lab tours and research talks from professors and graduate students. After completing the course, you will understand essential chemistry concepts relevant to CHEM 4A, including chemical calculations, statistics, quantitative analysis, models of atoms, the periodic table, molecules and chemical bonds, acid-base chemistry, thermochemistry, and equilibrium.
