CHE 101: Applied Chemistry

This is a basic chemistry course appropriate for non-science majors, elementary education majors, and students in prenursing. Students learn basic concepts and the vocabulary used in chemistry as well as how to apply concepts to quantitative problems. The topics covered include measurement, atoms, molecules, mass, energy, naming compounds, acids and bases, and basic organic chemistry concepts. There are three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory per week. Students who have received credit for CHE 111 or CHE 112 cannot subsequently receive credit for CHE 101. In the case that a student completes CHE 101 prior to completing CHE 111 or CHE 112, then CHE 101 will count as free elective credit only.
