CHEM 1151L: Survey of Chemistry Laboratory I

1 Credit Hours

Concurrent: CHEM 1151  
Laboratory exercises designed to supplement the lecture material of CHEM 1151.


Course Learning Outcomes
Students who successfully complete this course will be able to: 

  1. Conduct basic measurements, mathematical calculations and conversions such as the measurement of volume, density, and calculation of percent error, percent yield, etc. and account for sources of error in an experimental result.
  2. Conduct laboratory experiments by using equipment identifiable by name and by following safety procedures. The experiments would involve filtration, dissolution, precipitation, titrations, redox, and acid-base reactions. 
  3. Perform chemical calculations using mass, moles, volumes, concentration, and stoichiometry and identify limitations of measuring devices in order to state the uncertainty in measurements and calculation results.
  4. Be proficient in the comprehension of technical text and develop organizational skills through transcription of procedural outlines to a personal laboratory notebook.
  5. Demonstrate a proficiency in communicating chemistry content using oral communication both in small groups and possible in classroom discussions.
  6. Contribute positively and productively to group interactions that critically discuss chemistry concepts.
  7. Demonstrate a proficiency in relating chemistry calculations and everyday phenomenon to fundamental chemistry topics.
