Intermediate Chemistry Lab

2 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Chem 1205 is designed to build upon prior lab experience in Chem 1105. In this Intermediate Chemistry Lab course, students hone and refine their lab skills and technique. Higher standards are set as students are expected to be more independent in the lab and utilize previously learned concepts and techniques. This course delves into important topics such as chemical equilibria and reaction properties. Experiments in this course include colligative properties, electrochemistry, kinetics, and coordination chemistry. Students build upon their scientific writing skills from CHEM 1105 and complete formal reports. Recitation is a critical part of the course experience. During recitations students have the opportunity to engage with lecture material in a small class setting, ask questions and learn about the experiment of the week. There are weekly quizzes and assignments submitted during recitation. Two hours of recitation and one three-hour laboratory per week. Concurrent: - CHEM 1200 . Spring. Pre-requisites: Chem 1105 and Chem 1100
