ChemistryGCC offers two levels of Chemistry. Chem 105, Basic Principles of Chemistry, is a one semester non-lab course. This course is a survey of chemical principles including topics such as chemical nomenclature, the basis of chemical reactions, acids and bases, and an introduction to Biochemistry and Organic chemistry. This course is a great complement for students that are interested in going further in their study of science. The second level of chemistry is a two semester General Chemistry laboratory course, Chem 111 and Chem 112. The first semester combines an introduction into the periodic table, nomenclature, stoichiometry and chemical bonding with a weekly laboratory. This course is a requirement for many science majors. The second semester combines chemical kinetics, acids and bases, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry, the environmental impact of chemistry, and an introduction into Organic chemistry with a weekly laboratory. The weekly laboratory portion of Chem 111 and Chem 112 requires active student participation. Laboratory experiments are performed using standard chemistry lab equipment such as beakers, burets, balance, flasks, spectrophotometer, burners, pipettes, and graduated cylinders.
