CHM 101 COURSE OBJECTIVES:
The purpose of this course
is to enable the student to gain an appreciation and working knowledge of basic
chemical principles. Emphasis will be
placed on problem solving and the unit cancellation method will be used throughout
this course.
Students will relate atomic
structure to valence, properties, bonding, and chemical reactivity. They will also complete and balance chemical
equations, using correct chemical formulas and nomenclature. Students will predict quantities of
substances that are produced or reacted in a given chemical process, and they
will apply appropriate gas laws to solve problems relating to temperature,
volume and pressure.
