CHM-1010 General Chemistry I

Credits 4
CHM-1010 is the first semester of a university-parallel first-year chemistry sequence. This course is fully transferable to most four-year colleges and universities. Topics include the structure of matter; elements and compounds; chemical reactions and stoichiometry; basic thermodynamics; modern atomic and molecular structure; chemical bonding, physical states of matter; and properties of solutions. Four (4) credit hours; seven (7) contact hours, including 3 hours of lecture, 3 hours of laboratory, and 1 hour of recitation per week.
Prerequisite(s): MAT-1350 with grade of C or higher, and EGL-1010 completed or concurrent. For Allied Health and Nursing majors MAT-1250.
Corequisite(s): EGL-1010 completed or concurrent.
3 class/3 lab/1 rec hours.
