This course (loosely paralleling that of Chemistry 101, 102) provides a firm foundation in chemistry for those students who are anticipating professional study in chemistry, in related sciences, or in one of the health professions, as well as for those students who are interested in exploring in some depth the fundamental ideas of chemistry as part of their general education. This course is designed to capitalize on the background of those students with sound preparation in secondary school chemistry and to provide maximum diversity and depth of coverage. The course provides the foundation for the further study of organic and physical chemistry. The principal topics include modern atomic theory, molecular structure, states of matter, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics, kinetics and stoichiometry, and applications drawn from areas of contemporary interest including biochemistry and the environment. Laboratory work comprises a system of qualitative analysis and quantitative techniques, including electrochemical and optical measurements. Lectures: three hours a week; laboratory: four hours a week. Evaluation is based on homework assignments, laboratory work, hour tests, and a final exam. Placement exam and permission of the instructor required.
