Chem 170 provides a review of the basic stoichiometric calculations of importance to chemists. Among the topics you will cover are significant figures and dimensional analysis, the mole and molar mass, empirical formulas, balancing chemical reactions, gram-to-mole conversions, limiting reagents, theoretical yields and working with gaseous and aqueous species. This material is roughly equivalent to to approximately 2-3 weeks of a traditional first-semester introductory course in general chemisty at other colleges and universities.

Chem 170 is a pre-requisite for Chem 260 (Thermodynamics, Equilibria and Kinetics) and for most advanced courses in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry.
