CHEM 105L - Introductory Organic Chemistry Lab

1 Credit(s)

Prerequisite(s): CHEM 104, CHEM 104L, CHEM 104R or higher-level chemistry course.

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 Level: Lower Division Collegiate
