Application of chemical concepts has had a tremendous impact on the development of modern society. Chemistry 10 is designed for non-science majors and will investigate the basic chemical principles with an emphasis on their relevance to modern life. Topics will be presented in a non- mathematical manner and special emphasis will be given to current interests, such as pollution, food additives, pharmaceuticals, geochemistry, and energy sources. Chemistry 10 does not serve as a preparation for Chem 1A or 4A.
