About this course

This course is intended for students who are majoring in Forensic Science, Cell and Molecular Biology, or Toxicology, CHE 101 provides students with a better understanding of the chemical world around us and is a prerequisite for more advanced chemistry courses. CHE 101 is the first semester of the two-semester CHE 101?102 sequence, which is equivalent in content to CHE 103. Topics include: a review of basic mathematical tools used in chemistry, the structure of the atom, stoichiometric calculations, aqueous solutions, gases, and an introduction to the periodic table of elements. The entire 101?102 series must be successfully completed in order to receive credit as a general education science equivalent. Note: Students who place into MAT 105 College Algebra or MAT 141 with a CAA below 90 will begin the Chemistry sequence in CHE 101. Students should be taking MAT 105 or MAT 141 along with CHE 101. *Non-major students interested in enrolling must seek advisement and permission from the Department of Sciences.
