CH 140 CHEMISTRY FOR ENGINEERS w/LAB



This is a one-semester course for a foundation in chemistry for students in engineering fields. The course covers measurements and error theory; patterns of chemical reactions; mole concept, concentrations and stoichiometry; thermochemistry; theories of atomic structure; orbitals and periodicity; bonding theories; molecular geometry; and intermolecular forces of attraction. Students will learn physical chemistry of gases; kinetic molecular theory; structure and properties of solids, liquids and gases; colligative properties; thermodynamics; chemical kinetics; chemical equilibrium and its applications; acid-base chemistry; buffers; and redox and electrochemistry. Other selected topics, at the discretion of the instructor, may include molecular orbital theory, coordination chemistry, nuclear chemistry and organic compounds. Lecture: 3 hours per week. Lab: 3 hours per week. 4 Credits Prerequisite: MA 104
