CH 303 - Chemistry III Lab

0 lecture hours 2 lab hours 1 credits
Course Description
This elective has been designed to provide students with the third-quarter lab part of a one-year general chemistry course. This allows students to more thoroughly understand such subjects as thermodynamics, the chemistry of the various phases of matter, transition metals and solution chemistry. CH-303 lab, a one-credit lab course (when taken along with CH 302 , a three-credit course), allows students to meet the general chemistry requirements for graduate school and medical school, and covers material normally found on the MCAT and FE/PE exams. (coreq: CH 302 )
Course Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:
• Understand the chemistry of transition metals including Crystal Field Theory, Molecular Orbital Theory, Complex Ion Formation
• Expand their knowledge of Chemical Kinetics
• Understand Thermodynamics, including Electrochemistry and Entropy
• Expand their knowledge of Solutions Chemistry including acid base titrations involving weak, dipriotic acids, and investigation of colligative properties
• Be exposed in more depth to various topics involved in Phase Change
• Interpret data to isolate trends
• Identify potential procedural errors after conducting a laboratory experiment
• Demonstrate proficiency in technical communication
