CHEM 105L - Introductory Organic Chemistry Lab

CHEM 104Z  / CHEM 124Z  or higher-level chemistry course (formerly offered as CHEM 104 / CHEM 104L)

Corequisite(s):  

CHEM 105  

Course Description: Designed for non-science majors. Introduces the essence of nuclear chemistry and organic chemistry, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines and amides. Prepares students for work in a laboratory that uses chemicals. Also helps students understand how cells and organisms’ function. Both lecture and lab are required to be taken together. 

Course Learning Outcomes:

• CLO#1: Compare and contrast chemical and nuclear reactions.
• CLO#2: Describe the physical and chemical properties of introductory organic compounds: hydrocarbons, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, amines, and amides.
• CLO#3: Recognize and distinguish between distinct isomers of introductory organic compounds.
• CLO#4: Use and recognize correct IUPAC nomenclature for introductory organic compounds.
• CLO#5: Describe and identify the products of chemical reactions involving introductory organic compounds.
• CLO#6: Use the results of laboratory tests to identify an unknown organic compound. (ILO: Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning)
