This course focuses on physical and chemical interactions: intermolecular forces, properties of mixtures, gas laws, and thermodynamics. This course builds on the content developed in CHEM& 161. Three hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory. This class may include students from multiple sections. (Elective)
Prerequisites
2.0 or higher in CHEM& 161 or instructor permission
