CHM 11520 - General Chemistry I - Laboratory (UCC: SCI)


Credit Hours: 1.00.  In-person laboratory class to accompany CHM 11510. Topics covered can include lab safety, measurement, thermodynamics, quantitative analysis, stoichiometry, chromatography, and crystallography.
Learning Outcomes
1. Understand how scientific equipment and analog and/or digital instruments are used to obtain data measurements. 2. Understand safe laboratory practices and proper chemical hygiene methods associated with an experiment. 3. Develop observational skills during experiments to collect quality data and articulate observations in their laboratory reports. 4. Maintain ethical and trustworthy recordkeeping and reporting methods: recording data precisely, deciding on when a data set is kept or discarded for the experiments performed. 5. Analyze experimentally obtained data by using calculations and mathematical analysis techniques, such as graphical analysis of data sets. 6. Interpret experimental data and analyze this data using scientific models, concepts, representations, and equations. 7. Use evidenced-based reasoning to make claims and critique results. Make connections between lab results and the theories/concepts learned in lecture. 8. Use safe practices, proper chemical hygiene, and standard protocols while in a laboratory. 9. Collect and record digital data sets using modern data collection techniques including wireless data collection and cloud-based data storage. 10. Work with a partner(s) to accomplish laboratory work. 11. Experience chemistry in-person through direct use of chemicals, laboratory equipment, and instrumentation to complete a laboratory experiment.
