Chemistry - North Hennepin Community College

Chemistry from North Hennepin Community College is a Campus Associate Chemistry degree that prepares you for a Science career. This program allows students to take all of the required chemistry courses and many general education courses to allow them to transfer to a four year institution with a junior standing in the sciences. This program prepares graduates to work as a chemical lab assistant or to continue on to obtain the bachelors degree in chemistry. Program Outcomes Interpret, predict, and write formulas for ionic and molecular compounds. Perform stoichiometric calculations. Recognize and write equations for the common types of reactions in aqueous solution. Explain basic concepts of atomic and chemical bonding theory. Apply the laws of thermodynamics to perform calculation. Explain the basis of the gas laws and perform gas law calculations. Use the theories of chemical kinetics to predict mechanisms and explain rates of reaction. Solve a variety of equilibrium problems. Recognize weak acids & bases, write equilibrium expressions for each and solve problems involving their equilibria. Write equilibrium expressions of slightly soluble ionic compounds and predict solubility based on pH and in the presence of a common ion. Write cell oxidation/reduction equations and perform calculations of EMF, cell potential, voltage. Construct a structure when a name is provided and vice versa using the IUPAC rules for organic compounds. Recognize enantiomers, diastereomers, epimers, and anomers. Predict the mechanism of familiar organic reactions and predict the appropriate regiochemistry and stereochemistry of the product. Make observations, collect data, and perform mathematical calculations on experimental data. Do basic operations on computers, laboratory instrumentation and wet bench analysis techniques. Use basic techniques for the isolation and purification of molecules isolated from natural products and from reaction mixtures. Prepare samples for common forms of spectroscopy and interpret results. Write a quality lab report which summarizes results, analyses data, proposes reasons for error and states a conclusion. Demonstrate compliance with laboratory safety as dictated by regulatory agencies. View more details on North Hennepin Community College .
