| CHEM 100, Fundamentals of Chemistry, is an introductory study of the language and tools of chemistry. Basic concepts of the structure, properties, interactions and changes of matter and energy are studied, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Applications to everyday experiences are considered. This course is taken by students majoring in nursing or allied health sciences and provides a foundation for further coursework in chemistry. | CHEM 100L, Fundamentals of Chemistry Lab, is designed to illustrate the principles of inorganic and physical chemistry as presented in CHEM 100 and to familiarize students with common laboratory equipment and data collection methods. Along with CHEM 100, this course is taken by students majoring in nursing or allied health sciences and provides a foundation for further lab work in chemistry. |
| Student Learning Outcomes, CHEM 100: (1) apply mathematics to solve quantitative chemical problems; (2) conceptualize model of the atom and explain chemical concepts based on understanding at the molecular level; (3) write chemical formulas and chemical names for inorganic compounds; and (4) recognize the types of intermolecular forces for various chemicals. | Student Learning Outcomes, CHEM 100L: (1) demonstrate knowledge of laboratory safety procedures; (2) demonstrate proper handling of chemical reagents and wastes; (3) recognize common laboratory equipment and its use; and (4) demonstrate basic data observation, collection, and interpretation. |

ISBN: 0-536-30649-7. Calculator. You will need a calculator that can do basic arithmetic, logarithms, and exponential notation. Please bring your calculator to every class and lab meeting. (Recommended: TI-30XA solar, for about $10-15) Programmable calculators are not allowed on exams. If you can enter words or letters into your calculator, or if the letters A-Z appear on the front of your calculator, then don't bring it to this class. You may not share calculators during exams. |
Lab
Manual. "Chemistry 100L Laboratory Packet, Spring 2010, San
Diego Miramar College" by F.O. Garces, available only at Mira Mesa Copy (see link for directions). Supplies. Each student must use splash-proof safety goggles during lab and each lab-drawer pair much use a V-629 lock purchased from the Miramar College Bookstore. Lab Safety. Please read the safety information carefully and pay special attention to safety instructions given during each lab session. A chemistry laboratory can be a very safe place to work if you and your fellow students understand and respect the various chemical and physical hazards. |

| UC Tranfer Course List. Associate Degree Credit & transfer to CSU and/or private colleges and universities. City, Mesa, Miramar - CHEM 100, 100L and CHEM 152, 152L combined: maximum credit is 4 units. No credit for CHEM 100, 100L or 152, 152L if taken after CHEM 200. CAN CHEM 6 = CHEM 100L + CHEM 100 (City, Mesa, Miramar). CAN CHEM SEQ B = CHEM 130L + CHEM 130 + CHEM 100L + CHEM 100 (City, Mesa, Miramar). | |
| Follow-on:
Chem 100/100L fulfills general education requirements and is a prerequisite for Chem 130/130L, which covers organic and biochemistry, and is a gateway course for many nursing and allied health programs. Note: Chem 100/100L are not preparatory courses for Chem 152/152L or Chem 200/200L. |
