Student Learning Outcomes
Properly perform laboratory operations to obtain data, process data, and to draw relevant conclusions.

Describe and use the fundamental principles of chemical concepts to explain macroscopic properties, and apply the topics of equilibrium and thermodynamics to further describe, explain, and predict chemical/physical changes.

Perform mathematical analyses to quantify matter and energy and predict physical/chemical changes using proper conversions, relationships, and units.

Work effectively with others and communicate effectively in writing and orally.
