Prerequisite: MATH 0850 or MATH 1400; or placement test into MATH 0950 or placement test into MATH 1650. This course, the first in a two-course sequence, introduces students to the fundamentals of beginning chemistry, including matter and energy, measurements, atomic and electronic structure, the periodic table, inorganic nomenclature, quantitative aspects of matter, stoichiometry, bonding, solutions, and acids and bases. Students will complete lab experiments related to these topics. This course is recommended for CCP students and non-science majors, especially those entering the health sciences and nursing. (6 contact hours: 3 lecture, 3 lab) (OT36) [Catalog Entry]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $35.00

Prerequisite: CHEM 1100 or high school chemistry, MATH 1650 (can be taken concurrently) or its equivalent or placement test into MATH 1700. This course focuses on the principles of college chemistry, including measurements and dimensional analysis, formulas, equations and stoichiometry, solution reactions, gas laws, thermochemistry, atomic and electronic structure, the periodic table, bonding, and molecular geometry. Students will complete lab experiments related to these topics. This course is recommended for students who are pursuing an associate degree, or who are science-engineering majors, or who are attempting to qualify for a career in a health field such as physical therapy. (7 contact hours: 4 lecture, 3 lab) (OT36, TAG) [Catalog Entry]
ADDITIONAL FEES: $35.00

Prerequisite: CHEM 1600. This specialized course is the first in an organic chemistry sequence. It focuses on basic relationships between structure and physical, chemical and spectral properties for organic compounds, including alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, aromatics, halides, alcohols, and ethers. The course covers free radical substitution, electrophilic addition, elimination, electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic substitution reactions, with emphasis on mechanisms and stereochemistry. It also introduces infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and mass spectrometry. Laboratory work emphasizes basic skills such as recrystallization, extraction, distillation, chromatography synthesis, and analysis using chemical and instrumental methods. This course is intended for chemistry majors and chemical technician, pre-medical, pre-dental, and pharmacy students. (9 contact hours: 3 lecture, 6 lab) (OT36) [Catalog Entry]
