LACC Vision & Mission Statements As Approved By - Los Angeles ...

All LACC pre-nursing students must complete Chemistry 60 or Chemistry
68 with a satisfactory grade to satisfy the chemistry requirement for the
LACC Nursing Program. Chemistry 51 does not satisfy the LACC Nursing
chemistry requirement.
CHEMISTRY 51
Fundamentals of Chemistry I
5 UNITS - (UC:CSU)
Advisory: Mathematics 115 or one year of high school algebra.
Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 4 hours.
Chemical phenomena, methodology, and theory are studied in the context
of social, political, and economic issues. Fundamental chemical principles
are developed and applied within the study of selected instructional modules,
such as atmospheric gases, acid rain, nuclear fission, solar energy,
drugs, and nutrition. The laboratory component gives students experience
in the general procedures used by chemists and the ncertainty involved in
operations.
CHEMISTRY 60
Introduction to General Chemistry
5 UNITS - (UC:CSU)
Prerequisite: Mathematics 115 or appropriate score on the placement
assessment.
Advisory: Eligibility for English 28/31. See “Chemistry Enrollment
Information.
Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 4 hours.
A general basic chemistry course with laboratory, emphasizing fundamental
principles of inorganic and physical chemistry, nomenclature of inorganic
compounds, ionic and covalent bonding, problem solving, gas laws and
solutions. This course serves as preparation for Chemistry 101, and meets
the IGETC and CSU general education requirements for physical science
with

Students who have not completed Chemistry 60 or 68 or the equivalent
are required to pass the chemistry readiness examination prior to
enrolling in Chemistry 101. See “Chemistry Enrollment Information.”
Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 4 hours. Conference 2 hours.
Lecture topics include nomenclature, atomic structure, quantum theory,
bonding theories and molecular geometry, chemical equations,
stoichiometry, thermochemistry, solid, liquid and gaseous states and
related forces, gas laws, solutions and colligative properties, periodic
relationships, and acid base theories. Laboratory exercises are
quantitative in nature and are related to the lecture topics
