(3 hrs Lecture) The purpose of this course is to prepare students for CHEM-1111 Introduction to the Chemical Properties of Matter and CHEM-1112 Basic Principles of Chemical Reactivity. Topics include the characterization of chemical substances, chemical reactions, chemical quantities, and chemical systems. Note: Standing in this course will satisfy the prerequisites for CHEM-1111 and CHEM-1112 (in place of Chemistry 40S, Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S, and/or Applied Mathematics 40S). Non-science majors wishing to take a chemistry course for science credit should take CHEM-2801 Environmental Issues: A Chemistry Perspective. This course CANNOT be used as a credit towards the Chemistry or Biochemistry majors. Students with standing in CHEM-1111 or CHEM-1112 cannot register for this course.
