Considerable attention is given to the quantitative calculations and techniques important for further work in chemistry.

When Offered Fall, Spring, Summer.

Fees Lab fee: $20 (non-refundable) for safety goggles, lab apron, and breakage. Only students without a prior chemistry lab course (CHEM 2070 or CHEM 2090) will be charged.
Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: CHEM 2070 or CHEM 2090.
Forbidden Overlaps Forbidden Overlap: due to an overlap in content, students will not receive credit for both CHEM 2080 and CHEM 2150.
