CHEM 115HL Honors General Chemistry I Laboratory

Introduces students to working safely in a chemistry laboratory and keeping a laboratory notebook. Experiments performed include the physical properties of matter, chromatography, analysis of hydrates, solubility of inorganic salts, acids and bases, calorimetry, color and absorption of light, gravimetric analysis, gas laws, chemical bonding and molecular modeling. Students will learn laboratory techniques, instrumentation and molecular modeling. More in depth analysis of laboratory experiments than in the CHEM115L course is required.
