BalanceCHEM 152L, Introduction to Chemistry Lab, is a one-semester laboratory course intended as the companion course for CHEM 152. Topics include chemical measurement, significant figures, laboratory safety, laboratory techniques,chemical reactions and stoichiometry. An emphasis is placed on problem solving, data analysis and chemical calculations. It is intended for those students majoring in one of the natural sciences, engineering or related curricula who do not meet entrance requirements of CHEM 200. CHEM 152 and CHEM 152L are co-requisite courses and I am assuming that you are taking both classes this semester at Miramar College. If you are not currently enrolled in both courses, please let me know.

This syllabus is your contract with me regarding course policies. Please use this syllabus and the website as your primary information resources throughout the semester. Access the website often. Read the entire syllabus at least once, so that you know what to expect.

Lab Safety - Please read the safety information carefully and pay special attention to safety instructions given during each lab session. A chemistry laboratory can be a very safe place to work if you and your fellow students understand and respect the various chemical and physical hazards.
