    Description
    (Prerequisite: Completion of elementary algebra or the equivalent.) This course covers problem-solving techniques using dimensional analysis, basic principles of inorganic chemistry, and elementary qualitative and quantitative laboratory experiments. The course is designed to prepare students for CHEM 115 and 131, and satisfies a CSU general education requirement in physical sciences as well as a requirement by the COM Nursing Program. CHEM 114 and 115 represent one year of chemistry for most baccalaureate programs in nursing, health sciences, physical therapy, laboratory and medical technology, as well as non-science majors.
