Course Description

A review of the quantitative treatment of chemistry and chemical reactions. Topics include ways to express the absolute and relative amount of chemicals (grams, moles and concentration), balancing chemical reactions, mole-to-mole relationships, limiting reagents and theoretical yields. The course is composed of a series of self-paced modules.

Student Outcomes

In completing this course you will master the following learning goals...

  • make appropriate use of significant figures and use dimensional analysis to convert between different units
  • express the amount of a substance in grams and moles
  • determine a molecule's empirical formula
  • write balanced chemical reactions
  • use stoichiometry within a chemical reaction
  • determine a reaction's limiting reagent and its theoretical yield
  • work with aqueous species using molar and other concentration units
  • work with gases using the ideal gas law
