CHE Chemistry
CHE 101 - Introduction to Chemistry I with Lab - GT-SC1 5 Credits
Includes the study of measurements, atomic theory, chemical bonding, nomenclature,
stoichiometry, solutions, acid and base, gas laws, and condensed states. Laboratory
experiments demonstrate the above concepts qualitatively and quantitatively. Designed
for non-science majors, students in occupational and health programs, or students
with no chemistry background. This is a statewide Guaranteed Transfer course in the
GT-SC1 category.
(Contact hours - 90)
Prerequisite: MAT 050 or Corequisite: MAT 050
CHE 102 - Introduction to Chemistry II with Lab- GT-SC1 5 Credits
Focuses on introductory organic and biochemistry (sequel to Introduction to Chemistry
I). This course includes the study of hybridization of atomic orbitals for carbon,
nomenclature of both organic and biochemical compounds, physical and chemical properties
of various functional groups of organic chemistry, and physical and chemical properties
of biochemical compounds along with their biochemical pathways. Laboratory experiments
are included. This is a statewide Guaranteed Transfer course in the GT-SC1 category.
(Contact hours - 90)
Prerequisite: CHE 101 or permission of instructor.
CHE 111 - General College Chemistry I with Lab- GT-SC1 5 Credits
Focuses on basic chemistry and measurement, matter, chemical formulas, reactions and
equations, stoichiometry. This course covers the development of atomic theory culminating
in the use of quantum numbers to determine electron configurations of atoms, and the
relationship of electron configuration to chemical bond theory. The course includes
gases, liquids, and solids and problem-solving skills are emphasized through laboratory
experiments. This is a statewide Guaranteed Transfer course in the GT-SC1 category.
(Contact hours - 90)
Prerequisite or Corequisite: MAT 121
CHE 112 - General College Chemistry II with Lab - GT-SC1 5 Credits
Presents concepts in the areas of solution properties, chemical kinetics, chemical
equilibrium, acid-base and ionic equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.
This course emphasizes problem solving skills and descriptive contents for these topics.
Laboratory experiments demonstrate qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques.
This is a statewide Guaranteed Transfer course in the GT-SC1 category.
(Contact hours - 90)
Prerequisite: CHE 111
CHE 211 - Organic Chemistry I with Lab 5 Credits
Focuses on compounds associated with the element carbon including structure and reactions
of aliphatic hydrocarbons and selected functional group families. The course covers
nomenclature of organic compounds, stereochemistry, and reaction mechanisms such as
SN1, SN2, E1 and E2. Laboratory experiments demonstrate the above concepts plus the
laboratory techniques associated with organic chemistry.
(Contact hours - 105)
Prerequisite: CHE 112 or CHE 111 and instructor permission.
CHE 212 - Organic Chemistry II with Lab 5 Credits
Explores the chemistry of carbon-based compounds, their reactions and synthesis including
the structure, physical properties, reactivities, and synthesis of organic functional
groups not covered in Organic Chemistry I. The course explores functional groups including
alcohols, ethers, aromatics, aldehydes, ketones, amines, amides, esters, and carboxylic
acids and the reactions and reaction mechanisms of aromatic compounds. An introduction
to biochemical topics may be included if time permits. Laboratory experiences demonstrate
the above concepts and the laboratory techniques associated with organic chemistry.
