General Chemistry I Lab

This hands-on laboratory course reinforces general chemistry concepts through a series of experiments. The curriculum focuses on developing essential laboratory skills such as data analysis, proper technique, and accuracy. Students explore a variety of topics, including density and volumetric measurements, Avogadro's number, and the empirical formula of a compound. The course also introduces core concepts like spectroscopy, qualitative analysis, and titration through practical applications. A key objective is to develop scientific writing skills through the preparation of detailed laboratory reports, which are assessed based on preparedness, technique, and overall understanding. The primary goal is to provide students with the practical experience and analytical rigor necessary to succeed in future science courses.
