(GN)
(BA) This course meets the Bachelor of Arts degree requirements.
CHEM 113 is a second-semester, one-credit introductory general chemistry laboratory course meant to complement the lecture course CHEM 112. The course builds on material learned in CHEM 111 with emphasis on quantitative analytical procedures. Essential material covered includes proper use of a laboratory notebook, writing of a formal laboratory report, use of the chemical literature, experimental design, interpretation of data using statistics, laboratory safety procedures, and an appreciation for what instruments can and cannot do. The course introduces laboratory experimentation in the context of a variety of specific topics, for example: halogens, their compounds and their reactions chemical kinetics of a simple chemical reaction; acid-base equilibria and titrations; oxidation-reduction reactions and electrochemistry; separations of compounds using paper and liquid chromatography; separations using gas chromatography. GN credit for CHEM 113 requires that CHEM 112 or CHEM 112H also be completed.
