MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:
- Review concepts of acid-base theory.
- Apply the concepts of the different types of intermolecular forces to determining physical states.
- Explain the equilibrium between a liquid and its own vapor and the process by which it is reached.
- Interpret a graph of temperature versus energy for a substance over a range from below the melting point to above the boiling point.
- Calculate the concentration of a solution in terms of percent, molarity, molality, and normality.
- Determine colligative properties of a solution.
- Describe the characteristics and the factors that affect a chemical equilibrium.
- Explain the basic concepts of nuclear radioactivity.
- Describe and perform basic quantitative and qualitative chemical analyses.
- Describe the structure of organic and biochemical molecules.
- Use common types of chemical glassware, equipment, and chemicals safely and appropriately, including those specifically intended for use with organic and biochemicals.
- Describe and illustrate chemical principles in laboratory situations.
- Obtain reproducible data from chemical experiments; analyze, interpret, and communicate the data in a logical and coherent manner.
