CH 121 College Chemistry
The first course in a three-course college chemistry series for students in human performance, agriculture, animal science, fisheries and wildlife, and select health occupations programs, who have had no previous training in chemistry and whose program of study requires only a one-year sequence of college chemistry. Includes topics such as measurement, chemical calculations, chemical formulas and equations, gas laws, thermochemistry, atomic structure and periodicity. Lecture only. Does not include a lab.
Entering students are expected to have a working knowledge of high school algebra and scientific notation. Students are advised to investigate and understand the degree requirements at the university where they intend to transfer. (Note - this sequence is not equivalent to General Chemistry. CH 122 and CH 123 fulfill Baccalaureate Core requirements at OSU.) CH 121, CH 122, CH 123 must be taken in order.
Prerequisite
MTH 095 Intermediate Algebra with a grade of C or better.
Notes
Lower Division Transfer (LDT) Course
General Education Requirements
AGS Math/Science, AAOT Science/Math Non-Lab Course
Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
Solve scientific problems and apply chemical principles associated with matter, unit conversions, and uncertainty. Outline milestones in the development of modern atomic theories and relate each atomic theory to solve problems associated with atomic structure and electronic structure. Construct electron configurations, inspect periodic properties, and extrapolate periodic trends. Describe and distinguish each type of chemical bond and determine compound formula, name, and mass.
5. Demonstrate how bonds exist within the compounds using different types of chemical bonding theories.
6. Solve scientific problems and apply chemical principles associated with chemical equations and stoichiometry.
