CH221Z General Chemistry I

Explores and applies principles and applications of chemistry. Emphasis on measurement, components of matter, atomic and molecular structure, quantitative relationships including foundational stoichiometry, and major classes of chemical reactions. This course CH 221Z is a lecture course; CH 227Z is the laboratory component. Must be coregistered with CH 227Z. Must take both CH 221Z and CH 227Z to meet the lab science requirement. The PCC Chemistry Department strongly recommends that students take CH 221Z/CH 227Z, CH 222Z/CH 228Z, and CH 223Z/CH 229Z in consecutive terms. This course is part of Oregon Common Course Numbering. MTH 243, STAT 243, and STAT 243Z courses do not meet the MTH 111 prerequisite for CH 221Z. Prerequisites: MTH 111, (WR 115 and RD 115) or IRW 115 or equivalent placement, and (CH 151 or pass the CH 151 Competency Exam). Corequisite: CH 227Z.
