CHEM 11a 1 - General Chemistry I - Section 1 (Summer Ses. 1)

4 credit hours
Instructor: Claudia Novack
Requirements Fulfilled: sn, qr
M, T, Th, F 09:00 - 10:50 AM

Summer Session I: June 3 to July 5, 2013
This course may not be taken for credit by students who have passed CHEM 10a or 15a in previous years. The corresponding lab is CHEM 18a-Section 1, Sage class number: 2118. The small summer class size will allow the instructor to set the pace of the course in accord with the needs of students who have had varying previous exposure to chemistry. Along with CHEM 11b, this course will cover the subject matter of a conventional full-year chemistry course, providing the student with an understanding of the principles and concepts underlying the molecular processes and macroscopic chemical changes of matter. Following an introduction to stoichiometry, a background of quantum theory and atomic structure will lead to an understanding of molecular bonding and structure, and states of matter and phase changes. The study of reaction energetics and kinetics will be followed by solution equilibria, electrochemistry and acid-base reactions. The course will conclude with applications to organic and inorganic chemistry. This course will provide students with the full range of chemical topics desired when only a single semester of chemistry is adequate for their needs.
