CHEM 135 Chemistry for Engineers
This accelerated general
chemistry course is designed for engineering students intending to transfer to
the University of Maryland, College Park. The topics studied include matter
and measurement, states of matter, gases, stoichiometry and chemical reactions,
solutions, models of the atom, atomic structure, periodic trends, chemical
bonding theories, molecular structure, shape and polarity, intermolecular
forces, chemical thermodynamics, acids and bases, chemical equilibrium, ionic
and heterogeneous equilibria in aqueous solutions, electrochemistry, and
chemical kinetics. Students are required to conduct independent chemical
literature research and write a scientific paper. For Chemistry for Engineers Laboratory, see CHEM 136.
