Course Description:
General Chemistry (CHE101) is a one semester course designed to teach the students to
the systematic treatment of fundamental chemical and physical principles and their
applications to the properties and transformations of materials, including the concept of
energy and its uses, gas laws, kinetic molecular theory, laws of chemical combination,
atomic and molecular structure, periodic classification of the elements, chemical bonding
and introductory organic chemistry. 3 CREDITS.

Courtesy & Student code of conduct:
This is a standard size class and can get noisy at times. Please respect those who want
to hear by not participating in disruptive conversation, by not allowing cell phones to ring
or by making derogatory remarks to others. You will be asked to leave if others complain
about your behavior. All students must practice academic honesty. Academic misconduct
is subject to an academic penalty by the course instructor and/or a disciplinary sanction
by the University. All students must be familiar with the Student conduct Code. The

policies outlined here to best accommodate the interest of the class.
Student Learning Outcomes:
After completing General Chemistry (CHE101), students will be able to:
Perform calculations involving chemical and physical processes, use the dimensional
analysis method, record numerical answers with proper units, and attain proficiency
in the proper use of scientific notation and significant figures, including the concept
of uncertainty in scientific measurements.
Name ions and compounds, write their chemical formulas, calculate their molar
masses and percent composition, and determine the empirical and molecular
formulas of compounds.
Classify substances, reactions, and processes according to various classification
schemes.
Complete and balance chemical equations, determine whether or not a reaction
actually occurs based on chemical and physical properties of the reactants and
products, and solve stoichiometry problems.
Describe and calculate the energy changes involved in chemical reactions and
physical processes.
Describe the atomic and electronic structure of the elements.
