CHE 110 - General Chemistry I

Institution:

Delaware County Community College

Subject:

Chemistry

Description:

This course is the first part of a rigorous, mathematics based college chemistry sequence. This course is designed for students majoring in science or engineering fields. Basic laws and theories of chemistry including: chemical bonding, chemical reactions, the mole and stoichiometry, gas laws, solution chemistry, thermochemistry, chemical periodicity and atomic structure will be covered. Upon successful completion of this course, students should be able to: Define chemistry as the study of matter, its properties and changes and the energy associated with these changes; Use the metric system as a tool for performing and applying scientific measurements; Identify and classify substances with regard to composition, state, purity, and modes of separation; Apply the knowledge of the periodicity of the elements toward the description of chemical bonding; Solve mathematical problems related to chemical reactions and the mole concept including solution stoichiometry; Apply the kinetic molecular theory to account for the properties of gases and use the gas laws in calculations; Describe and calculate heat in chemical reactions and physical processes; Explain the relationship between the Periodic Table and Atomic Structure; Describe chemical bonding using Lewis structures, VSEPR theory and the valence bond theory; Collect experimental data utilizing modern chemistry laboratory techniques, problem solve and analyze the data to formulate appropriate conclusions and compile lab reports.
