Lecture and discussion course designed to create foundational knowledge and proficiency in essential chemistry concepts and skills. Topics include acids and bases, buffers, chemical equilibrium, molecular thermodynamics and kinetics, nucleophilic substitutions, elimination reactions, carbonyl compounds and reactions with applications to biochemical pathways.
Prerequisite: CHEM 160 and MATH 118 or equivalent.
Outcomes: Students will use qualitative and quantitative representations of matter to describe, explain, and predict how molecular structure and stability changes over time in chemical reactions.
