Course Description: 4 Cr. Prereq: Math 140 or high school equivalent and 50,155 or 1 year high school chemistry and credit or enrollment in 177L. Chemistry and biochemistry majors may consider taking 201.
The first semester of a two semester sequence which explores chemistry at a greater depth and with more emphasis on concepts, problems, and calculations than 163-164. Recommended for physical and biological science majors, chemical engineering majors, and all others intending to take 300-level chemistry courses. Principles and quantitative relationships, stoichiometry, chemical equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, thermochemistry, rates and mechanism of reactions, changes of state, solution behavior, atomic structure, periodic relationships, chemical bonding. Credit by examination (test-out exams) for 177 is available only to students who are not currently enrolled in the course. Credit may not be applied toward graduation for both Chem160 and another chemistry course. Only one of Chem 163, 165, 167, 177, or 201 may count toward graduation.
