This course uses an environmental lens to contextualize general chemistry principles including atomic structure, periodic properties, molecular structure and bonding, reaction types, and stoichiometry. Chemical concepts will be discussed within environmental themes like global climate change, aquatic chemistry, and anthropogenic impacts to the chemistry of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and cryosphere. Includes laboratory focused on environmental analysis with possible field sampling. Concepts and outcomes are equivalent to those in General Chemistry I (CH107) and thus the course counts identically. Meets the Critical Learning: SA requirement.

Prerequisite: consent of instructor or 2 years HS Algebra & 1 year HS Chemistry. No credit if taken after Chemistry & Biochemistry 107.

Degree requirement — Critical Learning: SA
