CHEM 112-01 From Suds to Supper: The Science of Your Home
Instructor: Christine O'Neill
Course Description:
Chemistry is known as the central science. This class will illustrate that chemistry is essential to your life: the process of cooking, adapting recipes, homemade soaps and scents, the slime you made, and more. These examples will be used to explain chemical concepts such as thermochemistry, electromagnetic radiation, chemical bonding, acid and bases, and intermolecular forces. In the chemistry laboratory, the students will continue their study of these concepts and their applications. Three hours of classroom and three hours of laboratory per week.

How do we extract our analyte from the matrix? How much sample must be extracted in order to obtain a measurable result? How do we measure what's present? and in the critical evaluation of experimental results (How much confidence do we have that our results are representative of the system under study?). Three hours classroom and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisite: 132 or 141.
