Principles of Chemistry I and LAB - CHEM 1211K

Description

The first course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Topics to be covered include composition of matter, stoichiometry, periodic relations, and nomenclature.

Students enrolling in eCore lab science courses are advised to consult with transferring institution to determine transferability of course credits.

Important Lab Information

This course has a laboratory component that requires you to purchase a lab kit and gather a list of household materials. More information can be found below, but you are encouraged to purchase the kit and begin gathering the additional materials as soon as possible.

There are two options for purchasing the lab kit:

  1. Chemistry I Lab Kit Cost - $199.99
  2. Chemistry I & II Lab Kit Cost - $288.16
  • The cost for option one includes lab material for CHEM 1211K (See lab material list).
  • The cost for option two includes lab material for both CHEM 1211K and CHEM 1212K (See lab material list), you will only need to purchase one kit from option two for both courses.
  • Price includes shipping and handling for Ground shipping. Other shipping and handling options may add to the total cost.
