CHEM 11 General Chemistry

CHEM 11 is a one-term general chemistry course for students with a background in chemistry and is designed to complement material emphasized in high school Advanced Placement courses. CHEM 11 focuses on topics including, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, reaction kinetics, quantum mechanics, and bonding at an introductory level. This course also includes a required laboratory section that emphasizes physicochemical measurements and quantitative analysis. 

 

Students with a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Chemistry examination (or 6 or 7 on the IB exam, or A-level credit) will be placed into CHEM 11;  all other students interested in CHEM 11 will take a placement examination to determine whether they are placed into CHEM 11 or CHEM 5.  Students who complete CHEM 11 will also be granted credit on entrance for Chemistry 5.  CHEM 11 is not appropriate for students previously enrolled in CHEM 5, CHEM 6 or CHEM 10
