Equivalency Details

This course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. For some students, this course enables them to undertake, as freshmen, second-year work in the chemistry sequence at their institution or to register for courses in other fields where general chemistry is a prerequisite. For other students, the AP Chemistry course fulfills the laboratory science requirement and frees time for other courses.

Emphasizes the principles and theories of chemistry. This course addresses atomic theory and structure, bonding, periodicity, oxidation/reduction, stoichiometry, molecular geometry, gas laws, and solutions. The laboratory work reinforces both the theoretical understanding and the quantitative nature of matter. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: MATH 103 with a grade of C or higher. Along with eligibility for enrollment into ENGL 101 and either completion of CHEM 100 with a grade of C or higher or completion of an academic high school chemistry course, or completion of the Toledo Placement Exam with a score of 26 or higher. (SCI/LAB)

A continuation of CHEM 101. Concepts covered include gaseous equilibria, acid-base theories, equilibria in aqueous solutions, complex ion equilibria, solubility product equilibria, electrochemistry, thermodynamics, rates of reaction, and coordination compounds. The laboratory work emphasizes kinetics, equilibria and qualitative analysis. A course fee is required. Prerequisite: CHEM 101 with a grade of C or higher. (SCI/LAB)
