This one semester lecture/lab course in general chemistry is designed to put chemistry in the context of the allied health sciences as well as other disciplines in which an understanding of the fundamentals of chemistry and of living things is valuable. The course will start with an introduction to elements, atoms, and the periodic table and continue with the quantitative nature of chemistry. Chemical reactions, stoichiometry, energies, rates, and equilibria precede information on topics that are relevant to the chemistry of life: gases, liquids, solids, solutions, acids and bases, and nuclear chemistry. Students in this course will learn to appreciate how the principles of chemistry are at work in their daily lives.
