CHEMISTRY (CHE)

CHE 1400 Chemistry and the Environment 4(3-2)

This is an introduction to the basic principles of chemistry, with emphasis on applications in contemporary societies, particularly those applications involving the environment (energy, water, polymers, pollution, etc.) and health (food, food production, drugs, etc.). A two-hour laboratory supports the lecture material.

This is a University Core Curriculum Course for the BBA, BAIS, BACS, BSHRD,

CHE 1401 General Chemistry I 4(3-2)

Pre-requisite: One year of secondary/high school chemistry. Fundamentals of atomic structure, chemical bonding, the periodic table, nomenclature, kinetic theory, gas laws, chemical equations and solutions. A two-hour laboratory supports the lecture material.

This is a University Core Curriculum Course for the BSGE, BSCSC, BSEMS

CHE 1402 General Chemistry II 4(3-2)
Pre-requisite: CHE 1401

substances (states of matter and changes among them, physical properties of solutions and colloids) and the factors that determine the outcome of chemical reactions (thermodynamics, equilibria, electrochemistry, and kinetics). A two-hour laboratory supports the lecture material.
