Applied General Chemistry

Applied General Chemistry—study of the general concepts of chemistry with an emphasis on industrial applications. Students measure physical properties of matter, perform chemical calculations, describe atomic and molecular structures, distinguish periodic relationships of elements, name and write inorganic formulas, write equations for chemical reactions, demonstrate stoichiometric relationships, and demonstrate basic laboratory skills. 

Applied general chemistry and physics are two fundamental courses that have been recommended by industry for inclusion in process technology programs. It is clear that information contained in academic chemistry and physics courses does not address key topics required by the occupation. Also, the process safety management standard requires that process technicians have an understanding of the chemistry and physics associated with the processes they are operating. Figure 2-11 demonstrates how adult learners can use hands-on bench-top operations to understand the science associated with difficult topics.
