CHEM 104H — Honors Beginning Chemistry
Units: 5 Lecture Hours: 54 Lab Hours: 108 Outside Hours: 108 Grading Method: Letter Credit Status: Credit, degree applicable Conditions of Enrollment: Prerequisite: Intermediate Algebra with a minimum of grade of C or assessment and placement by multiple measures. This honors course, intended for students in the Honors Transfer Program, introduces the principles of chemistry, modern concepts of atomic structure and periodicity as a basis for understanding bonding, chemical formulas, chemical equations and chemical reactions, states of matter, important elements and their compounds, solutions, acid-base theories and reactions, net ionic equations, oxidation- reduction, kinetics, and chemical equilibrium, chemical nomenclature, and calculations. Historical and current chemical concepts will be investigated in a required research paper. In the laboratory, emphasis is on observations, measurements, and elementary quantitative experiments with an introduction to qualitative analysis. Note: The maximum UC credit allowed for students completing CHEM 102, CHEM 104/104H one course. Students will not receive UC credit for CHEM 104H if taken after CHEM 1 50.
