CH 104 GENERAL CHEMISTRY I 3-3-4
Fundamentals of chemistry with emphasis on atomic structure, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, properties of solution, properties of matter. The laboratory is quantitative in nature. Prerequisite: MA 113


CH 104H HONORS GENERAL CHEMISTRY I 3-3-4
Fundamentals of chemistry will be reviewed and specific topics discussed indepth in a student-centered atmosphere. The course is geared towards collaborative learning and traditional lectures will be kept to a minimum. Topics include, but are not limited to, atomic structure, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, properties of solution, properties of matter. Prerequisite: MA 113 and admission into the Honors Program, or permission of the instructor. Students are also required to register for a section of CH 104L to be taken concurrently.


CH 114 GENERAL CHEMISTRY II 3-3-4
A continuation of CH 104. Emphasis is on chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, kinetics, acid-base reactions, electrochemistry, and organic chemistry. Includes laboratory time. Prerequisite: CH 104


CH 114H HONORS GENERAL CHEMISTRY II 3-3-4
A continuation of CH 104H. The course will be structured similarly to CH 104H with collaborative, student-centered learning emphasized. Topics include, but are not limited to, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, kinetics, acid-base reactions, electrochemistry and organic chemistry. Prerequisite: CH 104H or permission of the instructor. students are also required to register for a section of CH114L to be taken concurrently.


CH 144 CHEMISTRY—IDEAS AND APPLICATIONS 3-2-4
An integrated view of organic and biological chemistry for non-science majors, emphasizing the importance of chemistry to daily living and chemical principles related to everyday experiences. Simulated chemical problems in the laboratory. This course cannot be substituted for CH 104 or CH 114 for either science or engineering majors.
