-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Chemistry 121 or permission of instructor. A systematic introduction to the chemistry of the elements; concepts include electrochemistry, solubility and complex ion equilibria. Lecture and laboratory. Staff.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Junior/senior standing. An examination of selected, important social problems which have a technological basis. Discussions focus upon the economic, political and ethical dimensions of the problems, as well as the science and technology involved, and include problems such as the greenhouse effect and global warming, chlorofluorocarbons and the stratospheric ozone layer, chemical and radioactive waste disposal, and the use of pesticides. Risk/benefit analysis and the connection between chemical exposure and biological harm are important features of the discussions. Laboratory work involves the analysis of water samples for trace metals and organic contaminants, using state of the art instrumentation, and will include attempts to assess the validity of the analytical results. Intended for non-science majors as well as science majors. Lewis.

0.50 Credits
Classical thermodynamics taught using only basic algebra. A global view is used to understand spontaneous changes in chemical and physical systems. Emphasis on entropy and the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Also focuses on chemical kinetics including experimental determination of rates and the mechanisms of chemical reactions. Designed for preprofessional students and those majoring in biology and geology. Does not count toward the chemistry major. Staff.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Chemistry 121. Chemistry 123 is recommended. Laboratory course emphasizing the collection, analysis and interpretation of quantitative data, using both traditional and instrumental techniques. Bieler, Lewis, Metz.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Chemistry 121. An integrated two-semester introduction to the chemistry of carbon-based molecules--the molecules of life. The structure and stability of carbon compounds, including: nomenclature, physical properties, spectroscopic properties, stereoisomerism and acid-base properties. The physical and mechanistic understanding of organic chemical reactions, focusing on: substitution, addition, elimination and rearrangement reactions. Laboratory involves techniques of synthesis and purification. French, Harris, McCaffrey.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Chemistry 211. A continued survey of the mechanisms and reactions of organic molecules focusing on aromatic and carbonyl compounds, and the application of organic reactions toward organic synthesis. Laboratory involves team-designed organic syntheses of biologically relevant molecules and/or synthetic methodology. French, Harris, McCaffrey.
-
0.50 Credits
Prerequisite: Chemistry 121. Staff.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisites: Chemistry 123 or 211 and Math 141 or equivalent. An exploration of the basic thermodynamic and kinetic principles that govern the outcome of all chemical reactions and physical processes. Primary emphasis is placed upon macroscopic chemical thermodynamics with applications to solutions, colligative properties and phase equilibria. Additional topics include kinetic molecular theory; the experimental basis for determining reaction rates, rate laws and rate constants; the relationship of rate laws to reaction mechanisms; and the effect of temperature change on the rate constant. Bieler, Lewis.
-
0.50 Credits
Prerequisites: Chemistry 206 and 212. An exploration of advanced methods of chemical synthesis techniques in both organic and inorganic chemistry. Emphasis is placed on analysis of the synthetic products for purity and qualitative identification, using FT-NMR, FTIR, ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy. Further identification and analysis is done using HPLC, GC/MS, gas chromatography and LC/MS. Two four-hour laboratories per week. Bethune, French, Harris, McCaffrey.
-
1.00 Credits
Prerequisite: Chemistry 206, 337. The study of biochemical laboratory techniques, including enzyme purification and kinetics; gel exclusion, ion exchange; agarose gel electrophoresis; isolation of nucleic acids; and a special student-designed project. Rohlman.
