CHEM 100 - Introduction to College Chemistry

1. Illustrate that release or absorption of energy during a chemical reaction depends upon changes in bond energy;
2. Explain how changing the temperature or reactant concentration affects reaction rate;
3. Specify how changing conditions in a chemical system affects the amount of products at equilibrium;
4. Communicate why molecular-level structure is important in the function of materials;
5. Plan and conduct an investigation that demonstrates that combining two components at different temperatures within a closed system results in a more uniform energy distribution.

1. Demonstrate knowledge of scientific theories, concepts, and data about the physical sciences;
2. demonstrate an understanding of scientific practices, including the scientific method; and
3. describe the potential limits of scientific endeavors, including the accepted standards and ethics associated with scientific inquiry.

1. Apply their knowledge of scientific theories, concepts, and data about the physical and sciences through laboratory activities;
2. apply their understanding of scientific practices, including the scientific method in a laboratory setting; and
3. demonstrate accepted standards and ethics associated with scientific inquiry, while completing laboratory activities.
