bring to this class.

A C OR BETTER IN CHEM 1450 IS REQUIRED TO TAKE THIS COURSE.
More importantly, a thorough understanding of the following Chem 1450 topics is critical to your success in this course:

▪ density, unit conversions (Ch 1)                  ▪ gases (Ch 5)

            Ch 5: 76,77,91,92                              
The formulas and charges of major polyatomic ions must be memorized. 
These are listed in Table 3.5 on p 99.

Don’t wait. Use this opportunity to
catch up early.
As the semester
progresses and its demands consume your time, it is harder to go back to relearn material.
