CHEMISTRY

CHEM110 Foundations of General, Organic & Biochemistry
4 credits (4 lec,hrs/wk)
Chem 110 is a survey of chemistry from atomic structure through biochemistry. Chem 110 is primarily for students in prenursing, some allied health fields, or for students who need a brief introduction to chemistry. The course does not have an associated lab.
Prerequisite: MTH70 with a “C” or better.

CHEM121/122/123 Introductory College Chemistry I, II, III
5 credits (4 lec, 3 lab hrs/wk)
The CHEM121, 122, 123 sequence is a transfer chemistry sequence with coursework that is quantitative and requires good math and problem solving skills. This sequence does not meet the chemistry requirement for pre-medicine and most science and engineering majors. However, it does meet the chemistry requirement for some science fields (consult the catalog for the school to which you will be transferring).
CHEM121 - Covers measurement and the physical properties of matter, atomic structure, the periodic table, chemical bonding in molecular shapes, nomenclature, and phases of matter.
Prerequisite: MTH70 with a “C” or better.
CHEM122 - Covers properties of solutions, kinetics, equilibrium, the chemistry of acid and bases, and radioactivity.
Prerequisite: CHEM121 with a “C” or better.
CHEM123 - Covers an introduction to environmental, organic, and biochemistry.
Prerequisite: CHEM122 with a “C” or better.

CHEM198/298 Independent Study in Chemistry
1-3 credits (hrs to be arranged)
Prerequisite: Instructor consent.

CHEM221/222/223 General Chemistry
5 credits/term (4 lec, 3 lab hrs/wk)
First-year chemistry for science, engineering, and health pre-professional students. Classroom and laboratory work are quantitative and require good math skills. Must be taken in sequence.
CHEM221 - Covers atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecular geometry, reactions, and stoichiometry.
Prerequisite: MTH95 with a “C” or better.
CHEM222 - Covers gases, liquids, solutions, equilibrium theory, kinetics, and redox.
Prerequisite: CHEM221 and MTH111 with a “C”or better.
CHEM223 - Covers thermodynamics, acid-base chemistry, electrochemistry, nuclear reactions, and transition metal chemistry.
Prerequisite: CHEM222.
