Chemistry 111
Chemistry 111 is designed to provide a strong foundation in the principles of modern chemistry to serve as a basis for further study in chemistry and as a prerequsite for numerous courses across the university. For students to be successful they must have the equivalent of a good high school course in chemistry (or Chem 050), the ability to do algebra, and be prepared to sustain a steady program of study and problem drill across the semester. Chem 111 is often viewed as the single most difficult college course because students are expected to recall information from previous courses, combine problem solving with very abstract concepts, and accumulate and use knowledge across the semester. The material itself is not that difficult, but the pace of the course is daunting to many. I hope that we can make the course meaningful and even enjoyable for you. Welcome aboard for the ride!

Important Course Information
Post-Class NotesItems are posted daily or weekly depending upon available time.
Note: I don't think I will get the notes for moles and mole calculations up by the test. Please get the notes from the SUB copy center for this material. Also the book has a great deal of material and example problems on this. Sorry, the alligators are inside of the five foot circle and closing. Doc
