CHM 111 - Introductory Chemistry Lab
Credits: 1
2 Lab Hours
Prerequisites: MAT 090
Co-requisites: CHM 110 (can be taken previously)
Description
This laboratory course for the non-chemistry majors covers basic chemical laboratory techniques and safety in the chemical laboratory. The performed experiments provide an understanding and practical application of the fundamental principles related to chemical structure, bonding and stoichiometric relationships.
This course can be taken at the same time as the Introductory Chemistry course, CHM 110 , to fulfill the requirement of the chemistry course with the lab.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will:
- Explain the fundamental laws and principles that form the basis of chemistry.
- Exhibit proper chemistry laboratory safety procedures.
- Demonstrate basic laboratory and measurement techniques.
- Perform chemical reactions.
- Apply appropriate observation techniques used in the execution of laboratory experiments.
