  A.   Course Description:

 

 

Prerequisite:  CHM 1045L.  Co-requisite: CHM 1046. This course is a continuation of General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis Laboratory I.  It includes some qualitative analysis. One three hour laboratory weekly47 contact hours.

 

NOTE:    The sequence CHM 1045-CHM 1046 with CHM 1045L and CHM 1046L is designed to meet first-year college chemistry requirements of science majors, engineering students, and medical students.  CHM 1025-CHM 1025L and CHM 1026 may not be taken for credit subsequent to receiving a grade of "C" or better in CHM 1045, CHM 1045L and CHM 1046, CHM 1046L.
