Course Description: This is a comprehensive, two-semester sequence that introduces the fundamental principles of chemistry necessary for all science, engineering, and pre-health majors. Topics include stoichiometry, gas laws, atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, thermochemistry, and the states of matter. The second semester focuses on chemical kinetics, equilibrium (acid-base and solubility), thermodynamics ($\Delta G, \Delta H, \Delta S$), electrochemistry, and an introduction to nuclear and coordination chemistry. The accompanying laboratory emphasizes quantitative analysis and safe, precise experimental technique.Learning Outcomes: Students will be able to perform stoichiometric calculations, predict molecular geometry, apply equilibrium principles to problem-solving, and interpret chemical data accurately.
