Natural Science 0226 - General Chemistry I Lab

The laboratory section of General Chemistry. Laboratory work will include quantitative, qualitative, and instrumental analysis. An introduction to chemistry, including macroscopic properties of matter, composition and stoichiometry, atomic and molecular structure, bonding, and the behavior of gases. We will emphasize the understanding and prediction of chemical behavior, as well as the manifestation of chemistry in the world around us in biological, environmental, and practical contexts. While there are no prerequisites for the course, comfort with basic algebra is strongly recommended. Chemistry 1 is the first term of a two-semester course in general chemistry Keywords:Chemical reaction stoichiometry elements matter

Students should expect to spend 6-8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time
