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, use of pH meters to generate titration curves, determination of equilibrium constants, study of chemical kinetics via colorimetric methods, constructing basic electrochemical cells, analysis of bleach via an oxidation-reduction reaction, and an introduction to nuclear chemistry. In addition, emphasis is placed on manual and computer graphing skills, stoichiometry and the critical interpretation of collected experimental data. This course can be taken concurrently with CHEM 112 lecture or after successful completion of the CHEM 112 lecture with a grade of C- or better. Spring.
