An introductory chemistry course for no science majors. The course is designed for students with no, or limited, exposure to chemistry. The focus will be on the study of chemical principles, with special emphasis placed on providing an understanding of how these specific principles, and chemistry in general, relate to the non-scientist. This is done by addressing the chemistry involved with common materials such as plastics and polymers, cosmetics/medicines/drugs, food /nutrition, pollution/environment, batteries/ fuel/nuclear power, and soaps/detergents. The laboratory provides hands-on experiments designed to illustrate the principles and the utility of the chemistry discussed in the lecture. 2 lecture hours 2.5 hour laboratory session weekly. (fall/summer)
