P. R. Witt—Course Director
CHM 105 GENERAL, ORGANIC, AND
BIOCHEMISTRY CR 4.0
Course Description:
The objective of this course is to give the student a knowledge and understanding of atomic structure and how it influences chemical properties, valence, reactions, and bonding. Chemical equations, the gas laws, the mole concept, and solution concentrations are also studied.
This course also prepares students to understand the chemistry of living substances through practical examples and by introducing them to organic chemistry and biochemistry. (Prerequisite: MAT 101).

GENERAL INFORMATION:
Textbook: General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry: Lygre
Lab Manual: Introduction to General, Organic & Biochemistry in the Lab: Hein, Peisen and Ritchey, 8th Ed.
Required Materials: Scientific calculator and safety glasses or goggles.
Attendance: Maximum absences: 2X the number of class or lab meetings/week.
Grading Scale:
0-59 60-69 70-79 80-89 90 and above
F D C B A
The course grade is calculated by adding 75% of the lecture grade average and 25% of the lab grade average. The lecture grade will be the average of four tests. There is no cumulative exam; for the final exam, the student may elect to retest the material from one of the four tests taken during the semester. The laboratory grade is the average of the 13 highest grades, allowing for one grade to be dropped. Labs missed cannot be made up.
COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this course is to give the student:
· Knowledge and appreciation of the natural laws governing chemical changes.
· An introduction to scientific measurement.
· The skills to extract useful information from the Periodic Table.
· A basic understanding of atomic and molecular structures and the names and classes of compounds.
· An understanding of the qualitative and quantitative aspects of chemical equations.
· A basic understanding of acids, bases, and solutions.
· Knowledge of the basic gas laws.
· An introduction to organic chemistry and biochemical processes.

CHM 105 HOMEWORK (Lygre):
In order to do well in chemistry you must do chemistry, that is, practice doing chemistry problems. You cannot learn it by watching someone else do the work. It won’t take hold until you do it. The following problems from your text have been selected as representative samples of the most important concepts for each chapter. Your instructor may also recommend other problems during the course.
