This laboratory course introduces students to the main experimental methods used in a modern chemistry lab at a level appropriate for the science or pre-professional major. Specific topics/experiments include chemical safety and hygiene; the operation of balances; volumetric, gravimetric, thermometric, colorimetric, and/or instrumental methods of analysis; synthetic chemistry; graphical analysis of the ideal gas laws/ modeling of molecular structure and an introduction to polymer chemistry. In addition, emphasis is placed on manual and computer graphing skills, stoichiometry, and the critical interpretation of collected experimental data. Prerequisite: Math ACT of 21 or higher, or successful (C- or better) grade in MATH 105, MATH 115, or MATH 120. Corequisite: CHEM 111 lecture, 3 credit hours. This course meets a General Education Core Curriculum requirement. Fall, Spring.
