CHEM 2121 | General College Chemistry I Laboratory
1 Cr. (3 Lab)
Prerequisite: Completion of MATH 1203 College Algebra with a grade of “C’ or higher or equivalent. Corequisite: CHEM 2123 General College Chemistry I. Offered in the fall and spring semesters. This course is designed for students currently enrolled in General College Chemistry I. The laboratory experiments conducted will supplement the topics presented in the lecture component. Laboratory experiments will allow students to examine, through hands-on learning, some of the fundamental laws and theories dealing with the structure and interactions of matter and the use of the principles in understanding the properties of matter, chemical bonding, chemical reactions, the physical states of matter, changes of state, and solutions.
