CH 310 - Applied Chemistry

3 lecture hours 2 lab hours 4 credits

Course Description
This is a junior level general chemistry course for students taking only one quarter of chemistry. The course includes classification and properties of matter, atomic structure, chemical bonding, chemical equations, physical states of matter and intermolecular forces. The relationship between chemical properties and the mechanical and electrical properties of materials is also studied. Not for credit for students who have credit for CH 103 or CH 200, CH 200A, or CH 200B. (prereq: MA 128 or MA 129, PH 113)

Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

Understand the periodic classification of the elements
Understand the structure of the atom
Solve stoichiometry problems
Understand the laws governing changes in matter composition
Understand chemical bonding and the basic properties of solids and liquids
Solve selected problems involving concentrations of solutions
Understand and solve selected problems involving thermochemistry and electrochemical reactions
Understand chemistry laboratory procedures and be able to handle chemicals safely
