CHEM 131 - Introduction to General Chemistry

Credits: 3 hours
This course is an introductory general chemistry course intended for students who have little or no chemistry background. This course is specifically designed to prepare students for CHEM 132-General Chemistry I. It is both a conceptual and mathematical course that covers atomic and molecular structure, the periodic table, chemical systematic naming schemes, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, gasses, solutions, acid/bases, and an introduction to oxidation/reduction, chemical equilibrium, and nuclear chemistry. This course will also partially satisfy a requirement of Section III of the General Education Curriculum. This course provides no credit toward a chemistry major or minor.
Prerequisite(s): Two years of high school algebra and Math ACT ≥ 20 or completion of MATH 131
