Basic Principles of Chemical Reactivity

3 credits · Undergraduate

(3 hrs Lecture | 3 hrs Lab) This course includes an introduction to chemical kinetics, chemical thermodynamics and equilibrium, and to acid/base and oxidation/reduction chemical reactions. The laboratory component introduces students to some of the basic techniques of practical chemistry. The fundamental concepts of chemical reactivity covered in this course and CHEM-1111 provide the essential foundation for students who wish to continue with Chemistry or Biochemistry as a major, and for students of Biology, Physics, Physical Geography, Environmental Studies, and Experimental Psychology. Requisite Courses: Chemistry 40S and Pre-Calculus Math 40S or Applied Math 40S; or CHEM-0100 [prerequisite(s)]; CHEM-1112L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).
