    Description
    This course is a prerequisite for CHEM 1A and prepares science or pre-professional majors, who are required to take Chem 1A, but lack adequate preparation or need to refresh knowledge. This course provides basic knowledge and problem-solving techniques necessary for CHEM 1A and CHEM 1B . Formula and equation writing, basic gas laws and stoichiometry are stressed. Students should be aware that many schools (CSULB included) do not allow credit for CHEM 2 , once CHEM 1A (or the equivalent course at that school) has been successfully completed.
