CHEM& 161 General Chemistry w/Lab I (5 credits)

2. Calculate stoichiometric quantities using stoichiometric relationships and determine the reasonableness of answers. 

3. Apply kinetic molecular theory to describe gaseous behavior and gas laws.

4. Explain the role of heat transfer in chemical and physical processes and apply these to thermodynamics.

5. Use a variety of course-specific laboratory techniques to safely carry out lab procedures and describe the results.

6. Demonstrate via multiple modalities (e.g. case studies, labs, projects) how course-specific concepts and theories apply to and influence the broader world.
