Upon completion of this module, you will be able to:

• Write and balance chemical equations (CLO7)
• Define three common types of chemical reactions (precipitation, acid-base, and oxidation-reduction) (CLO6)
• Classify chemical reactions as one of these three types given appropriate descriptions or chemical equations (CLO6)(CLO7)
  
• Identify common acids and bases (CLO6)(CLO8)
• Define and distinguish between heat and temperature. (CLO2)(CLO3)
• Express temperature using Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin scales. (CLO2)(CLO5)
• Discuss heat transfer applications and relate them to phase changes of matter. (CLO2)(CLO3)
• Define methods of heat transfer: conduction, convection, and radiation. (CLO2)(CLO3)
