CHEM 129 - Basic Principles of Chemistry

Basic Principles of Chemistry is a first course in college chemistry that introduces students to the basic concepts of chemistry. It is an ideal course for students who have not had a high school chemistry course, or who wish to review the basics before attempting further course work in chemistry. Topics include unit analysis, stoichiometry, reactions in solution, gas laws, enthalpy, basic atomic theory, and bonding using Lewis dot structures. Note that this course does not count toward the two-semester sequence required by most professional schools.

Co-requisite: MATH 156 - College Algebra , MATH 157 - Plane Trigonometry , MATH 186 - Precalculus , or any higher-level mathematics course, based on a sufficiently strong high school background and score on the Mathematics Placement Exam.
Credits: 3
NOTE:
* This course counts toward the 63-credit Liberal Arts and Sciences (LAS) graduation requirement.
