CHEM 1504: Survey of General, Organic & Biochem
Attendance at the first laboratory meeting is required. A student may not participate in lab if they have missed the first lab meeting, which includes the mandatory lab safety training. If a student misses the first lab meeting, they must notify the instructor to make arrangements to make up the safety training before the second lab meeting.
Students are expected to comply with the KCC Laboratory Safety Rules at all times. These rules will be discussed during the first lab meeting and each student will sign an acknowledgement of receipt and understanding. Students who do not comply with the safety rules will be asked to leave the lab and will receive no credit for that day’s work.
Credit Hours 4.0This course presents general principles and theories of chemistry and selected topics in organic and biochemistry. Topics include measurement, atomic theory, radioactivity, chemical bonding and reactions, chemical equilibrium, gas laws, solutions, acids and bases, organic chemistry and biologically important compounds and processes. This course is designed for students preparing to take anatomy and physiology and/or microbiology courses. AAS: Physical science (laboratory science) elective.
