Overview
A quantitative treatment of chemical phenomena and materials. Critical thinking and problem solving are emphasized. Topics include atomic structure and molecular bonding, organic chemistry, and condensed phases.
Learning Outcomes
In an addition to developing an appreciation for Chemistry as a field of study, students will specifically be able to:
- Identify macroscopic models of materials using basic understanding of microscopic models of Matter
- Calculate system conditions and measure changes using concepts of gas theory
- Describe the development of mathematical models of microscopic level properties
- Use Thermodynamics to determine energy changes in isobaric, adiabatic and isothermal system processes, both chemical and physical
- Describe phase diagrams for single and multi-component (solutions) systems, including distillations, fractional melting and alloys
Additional Information
NOTE: Not normally intended for on-campus degree plans and certificates.
NOTE: Not appropriate for pre and upper level courses that have a laboratory component.
