Term hours: 54 lecture and 54 laboratory. The course is designed for the non-science major seeking a laboratory science. The course will adopt a non-mathematical approach to explain the fundamental concepts of chemistry. From this foundation, the course will focus on topics that are related to the impact that chemistry has on our society. The laboratory section will provide hands-on experience with many of the lecture topics. Pass/No Pass/ Letter Grade Option. (UC Credit Limitation/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC) Prerequisite: MATH 020 C or MATH 041 C with minimum grades of “C.” Term hours: 54 lecture and 54 laboratory. This course is the first semester of a two-semester sequence (CHEM 101 C and CHEM 201 C). This course covers the basic principles of atomic structure, chemical bonding, the mole concept, states of matter, solutions, energy, and organic compounds. This course is designed for students majoring in health science. (UC Credit Limitation/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC) Prerequisite: Completion of or concurrent enrollment in MATH 020 C or MATH 041 C with a grade of “C” or better. Term hours: 54 lecture. This is a general education course in chemistry. A non-mathematical approach will be taken to examine the fundamental concepts of chemistry and their application to various facets of life. Topics will include a discussion of chemicals in air, water, food, drugs, and the environment, as well as areas of current interest. Pass/No Pass/Letter Grade Option.

Chemistry (CHEM) CHEM 060 C Chemistry Review
CYPRESS COLLEGE 2014–2015
1 Unit
Term hours: 18 lecture. This course is a review of the concepts and principles of general, inorganic, and organic chemistry, as taught in: Introduction to Chemistry (CHEM 101 C), Fundamentals of College Chemistry (CHEM 107 C), General Chemistry I (CHEM 111AC) and/or General Chemistry II (CHEM 111BC). It is recommended for students who have completed or are currently enrolled in one of the previously named courses. Pass/No Pass only.
Prerequisite: MATH 040 C or MATH 041 C with minimum grades of “C.” Term hours: 72 lecture and 54 laboratory. This course provides a general introduction to the basic concepts, principles and laws of modern chemistry. Topics include a study of atomic theory, molecular structure, chemical reactivity, and the properties of the various phases of matter. Laboratory experiments include both qualitative and quantitative analysis, with an emphasis on proper laboratory techniques. This course applies to the physical science requirement for general education and is not acceptable for credit for students majoring in physical science. CHEM 107 C is a recommended preparatory course for students planning to take CHEM 111AC and CHEM 111BC. No credit if taken after CHEM 111AC. Pass/No Pass/Letter Grade Option. (UC Credit Limitation/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC) Prerequisite: MATH 040 C or MATH 041 C and CHEM 107 C with a grade of “C” or better, or a passing score on the Chemistry Proficiency Test. Term hours: 54 lecture and 36 discussion and 64–72 laboratory. Topics covered include the general principles of chemistry with associated laboratory analysis. This includes atomic structure, bonding, the mole concept, properties of solutions, gas laws, and thermochemistry. (UC/CSU, AA GE, CSU GE, IGETC)
