Prerequisites & course information

Requisites: CHEM 104 or 109 . Not open to students with credit for CHEM 329 . Course Designation: Core GenEd - Natural Science & Wellness + Lab Breadth - Physical Science Level - Intermediate L&S Credit - L&S Liberal Arts and Science Repeatable for Credit: No Last Taught: Fall 2026 Learning Outcomes: 1. Perform chemical measurements, adapt analytical methods (e.g., titrations, separations, electrochemical measurements, and spectroscopy), and interpret results for the purpose of quantitative analysis. Audience: Undergraduate 2. Evaluate laboratory data by applying statistical methods (e.g. statistical uncertainty, confidence intervals, propagation of error). Audience: Undergraduate 3. Develop quantitative chemical models involving thermodynamics, equilibrium concentrations, separation performance, and electrochemical potentials and compare them to experimental results. Audience: Undergraduate 4. Solve chemistry problems that connect concepts from across the curriculum and apply them to real world situations. Audience: Undergraduate 5. Effectively communicate experimental outcomes through written reports, oral presentations, and/or visual aids. Audience: Undergraduate Learning Outcomes: 1.
