Objective:       To introduce the student to measurement, atoms, stoichiometry, reactions in water, gases, electronic structure, covalent bonding, Thermochemistry, liquids and solids, solutions and rate of reaction. There is an emphasis on working numerical problems. These problems give the student a deeper understanding of chemistry.
Procedure:      The course consists of three hours of lecture and about three hours of lab per week.
NOTE:  This syllabus is subject to change at the discretion of the professor.
TEXTBOOK:  Chemistry Principles and Reactions Updated 5th Ed. Masterton, Hurley
LAB BOOK:  Chemical Principles in the Laboratory 8th Ed. Slowinski, Wolsey, Masterton
TECHNOLOGY: Calculator, macro scale glassware, top-loader balance, centrifuge, paper chromatography, analytical balance, burettes, Spectronic 20 visible spectrometer
LAB EXPERIMENTS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 13, 14, 17, 18, polymers, 23, 21. Do "Advance Study Assignment" before Lab each week. Safety glasses are required by state law and must be worn in each lab.
