Principles of Chemistry for Engineers 2 (3,0,0) 3 credits

This course is the same as CHEM 1210 except that Engineering students do not take the laboratory portion.

Prerequisite: Admission to the Engineering Program and ECHE 1110 (C- minimum)

Note: ECHE 1110/ECHE 1210 are not prerequisites for second year Chemistry courses. Engineering students who may wish to take second year Chemistry courses should meet with their Engineering Advisor and the Chair of the Department of Physical Sciences as early as possible.

This course is no longer being offered.

Principles of Chemistry for Engineers 1 (3,0,3)(L) 3 credits

This course is the same as CHEM 1110 except that Engineering students may complete different laboratory work.

Prerequisite: Admission to the Engineering Program

Foundations of Chemistry 2 (5,0,2)(L) 4 credits

ABE – Provincial: A pre-university level course for students requiring a more in-depth introduction to chemistry than provided by CHEM 0500 or Chemistry 11. The course is an acceptable prerequisite for CHEM 1110. Topics covered will be similar to those dealt with in Chemistry 12 and will include gas laws, reaction kinetics, chemical equilibrium, solubility of ionic substances, acids and bases, oxidation-reduction and organic Chemistry. The laboratory exercises will illustrate and reinforce topics covered in the lectures.

This course is no longer being offered.

Principles of Chemistry 1 (3,0,3)(L) 3 credits

This course is the first half of first year Chemistry designed for students with a strong background in Chemistry. The Chemistry Department defines a strong background as at least a B in Chemistry 12 or CHEM 0600; however, the course is available to any student with Chemistry 12 or CHEM 0600. Lecture topics include: gas laws, equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, redox reactions, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, entropy and free energy. The laboratory stresses fundamental precision techniques in quantitative analytical chemistry, as well as experiences in instrumental analysis.

Prerequisite: Chemistry 12 or CHEM 0500 and 0600 (a grade of B or better is recommended); Principles of Mathematics 12 or MATH 0610; Physics 11 or PHYS 0500 or PHYS 1130.
