COURSE OUTLINE FOR
THE CAMPUS
Course code: Campus MB
1112/3 (U of Wpg Code: CHEM-1112/3)
INTRODUCTION:
This 3 credit course includes an introduction to chemical kinetics,
chemical thermodynamics and equilibrium, and to acid/base and
oxidation/reduction chemical reactions. The laboratory component will introduce
students to some of the basic techniques of practical chemistry. The
fundamental concepts of chemical reactivity covered in this course provide the
essential foundation for students who wish to continue with Chemistry or Biochemistry
as a major, and for students of Biology, Physics, Physical Geography,
Environmental Studies, and Experimental Psychology.
PREREQUISITES: CampusMB 1111/3 (U of Wpg Code:
CHEM-111/3 or 08.1111/3) or equivalent from another university.
