Common use of General Chemistry Clause in Contracts

General Chemistry. For institutions that begin students in the freshman year with General Chemistry, it is an introduction to the Chemistry field and primarily involves the application of mathematics in Chemistry. Additional skills include the development of in-depth analysis tools and problem solving skills, which are applied in upper level chemistry courses. As stated by the ACS in the Undergraduate Professional Education in Chemistry,1 “The diversity of institutions and students requires a variety of approaches for teaching introductory chemistry.” Should an institution provide a different sequence of General Chemistry, it is up to that institution to determine the best way to credit the student for the outlined competencies. The following competencies have been identified as essential for preparation in General Chemistry. Please note that the competencies do not need to be introduced in the order listed. Competency 1: Introduction to Chemistry Competency 2: Measurement Competency 3: Atoms, Ions & Compounds Competency 4: Chemical Reactions Competency 5: Calculations with Formulas and Equations Competency 6: States of Matter: Gases Competency 7: Thermochemistry Competency 8: The Periodic Table and Atomic Structure Competency 9: Bonding Competency 10: States of Matter: Liquids and Solids Competency 11: Solutions Competency 12: Kinetics Competency 13: Chemical Equilibrium Competency 14: Acid-Base Equilibria Competency 15: Solubility and Complex Ion Equilibria Competency 16: Thermodynamics Competency 17: Electrochemistry See Appendix B: Competencies for Preparation in General Chemistry.
