This General Chemical Lab works in conjunction with introductory Chemistry concepts by providing a series of real world, hands-on experiments. This course requires students to complete at home experiments, track and document results, and submit lab assessments. We start by examining how to properly and safely handle chemicals, identify variables, and construct a hypothesis. Other topics included in this Lab are: molar mass, electron configuration, molecular geometry, chemical reactions, ideal gas law, and the pH scale.

Recommendation: General Chemistry I.

After completing this course, you should be able to:

  • Identify how to identify variables and create a hypothesis
  • Recall the concepts behind molar mass and electronic configuration
  • Recognize the fundamentals behind molecular geometry and chemical reactions
  • List the basics of ideal gas law and the pH scale
  • Recall the concepts of analyzing data and graphing
