Chabot College/Las Positas College February 1994Course Outline for Chemistry 30AINTRODUCTORY AND APPLIED CHEMISTRYCatalog Description: 30A - Introductory and Applied Chemistry 4 unitsChemistry of inorganic compounds, atomic theory, bonding, equations, gaslaws, solutions, acid-base theory and oxidation-reduction. Designed to meetthe requirements of certain programs in allied health and technological fieldsand for general education. Prerequisite: Mathematics 65 or 65B (completedwith a grade of "C" or higher. 3 hours lecture, 3 hours laboratory).Expected Outcomes for Students: Upon completion of the course, the student should be able to:1. make unit conversions in the metric system;2. describe the structure of the atom;3. perform calculations using the mole concept;4. identify properties of states of matter;5. use standard nomenclatures;6. write balanced equations for chemical reactions including those inaqueous solutionand those involving elementary oxidation-reduction;7. describe gas laws qualitatively and quantitatively;8. define concentration units of solutions and use these definitions inproblem solving;9. describe properties of solutions;10. interpret reactions according to acid-base theory;11. use the pH scale to compare acidity;12. write balanced net and total ionic equations;13. use Le Chatelier's principle to predict the qualitative effects of changesinconcentration, temperature and pH on an equilibrium;14. describe factors affecting the rates of reactions;15. describe types of nuclear radiation, isotopes and their half-life, nuclearreactions,units, and medical/industrial uses;16. perform laboratory experiments in an efficient, safe and purposefulmanner;17. collect and analyze scientific data18. perform a titrationChabot CollegeCourse Outline for Chemistry 30A, Page 2February 1994Course Content: 1.
