CH 150 Preparatory Chemistry
As needed Introduces chemistry for science, engineering and the professional health occupations. Designed to meet the prerequisite for CH 221, this fast-moving curriculum covers the basic tools offered in a one-year high school chemistry course. A good selection for students who need a refresher in chemistry or have little or no background in chemistry and need to meet the prerequisite for CH 221. Topics emphasized include chemical calculations and problem-solving techniques encountered in both inorganic and organic chemistry. There is no lab with CH 150.
Prerequisite
Prerequisite (or concurrent):
MTH 095 Intermediate Algebra with a grade of C or better.
Notes
Lower Division Transfer (LDT) Course
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Use mathematical reasoning with dimensional analysis while applying rules of significant figures. Use the Periodic Table to recognize and explain; (a) the differences between, (b) the formation of, and (c) the naming of covalent and ionic compounds. Explain the relationships and perform calculations using moles, individual particles, and mass. Balance chemical reactions and perform stoichiometric calculations in problem solving. Perform calculations using a variety of concentrations such as mass percent and molarity in connection with solution stoichiometry.
