CHEM 1251. Principles of Chemistry General Chemistry I. (3) Prerequisite: MATH 1100 with a grade of C or above (or equivalent test score) or CHEM 1200 (which is recommended for students who have not had chemistry in high school) with a grade of C or above. A principles-oriented course for science and engineering majors. Fundamental postulates principles and laws of chemistry; the relationship of atomic structure to physical and chemical properties of the elements;. Topics include measurements, chemical nomenclature, reactions and stoichiometry, thermochemistry, atomic structure, periodicity, bonding and molecular structure. Three lecture hours and one Problem Session hour per week. (Students may attempt CHEM 1251 a total of three times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade. Credit will be given for only one course: 1111, 1203, or 1251.) (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)
CHEM 1251L. Principles of Chemistry General Chemistry Laboratory I. (1) Prerequisite or corequisite: CHEM 1251. Experimental investigations involving the fundamental postulates principles and laws of chemistry. One three-hour laboratory per week. (Students may attempt CHEM 1251L a total of three times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade. Credit will be given for only one course: 1111L, 1203L, or 1251L.) (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)
CHEM 1252. Principles of Chemistry General Chemistry II. (3) Prerequisite: CHEM 1251 with a grade of C or above. Continuation of CHEM 1251. Topics include gas laws, liquids and solids, solutions, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Three lecture hours and one Problem Session hour per week. (Students may attempt CHEM 1252 a total of three times. Withdrawing from the course after the Add/Drop deadline constitutes an attempt as does receiving any letter grade. Credit will be given for only one course: 1112, 1204, or 1252.) (Fall, Spring, Summer) (Evenings)
