This course provides students with an introduction to chemical principles and applications for the non-science major. Students will engage in problem solving and critical thinking while applying chemical concepts. Topics will include the scientific method of problem solving, classification of matter, atomic theory, the periodic table, gases, chemical reactions, energy, and chemical bonds. Intended as a general education course. Student Learning Outcomes: Students will be able to distinguish between physical and chemical properties and changes. Students will recognize components of gaseous chemistry. Students will recognize components of aqueous chemistry including properties of water, solutions, and acids and bases. Students will correlate the design of the periodic table to periodic trends and physical and chemical properties elements. Students will write and interpret chemical formulae and write balanced chemical equations.
