4.00 Credits
Science and Engineering majors will take this course. A continuation of CH 111A.Topics include aqueous solutions, acids and bases, equilibrium calculations, kinetics, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. The laboratory offers experiments to supplement the lecture material. Prerequisite: CH 111A. CH 112A is offered every spring semester. Satisfies the mathematics and science distribution requirement. Three lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week.
-
5.00 Credits
A one-semester course meant for those students who have taken 2 years of high school chemistry with laboratory or AP Chemistry. The placement in the course will be decided on the basis of a placement test and on the basis of recommendations from the science teacher. Chemistry and Biology majors are encouraged to take this challenging course in place of CH 111A and CH 112A. The syllabus will include: review of preliminary concepts (4-6 lectures), chemical bonding, intermolecular forces, chemical kinetics, acid-base, solubility and complex equilibria, redox chemistry, electrochemistry with quantitative applications of these principles. Three lectures, one recitation and one laboratory per week.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the chemistry of the atmosphere, hydrosphere and geosphere, including natural processes and the effects of civilization on the environment. Specific topics include air pollution, acid precipitation, global warming, decomposition of organic matter by geochemical and microbial processes, regulation and enforcement of environmental regulations, wastewater treatment, and toxicity. Prerequisite: CH 112A, or CH 125A. Three lectures per week.
-
4.00 Credits
For all students interested in a one-semester survey of organic chemistry focusing on the core concepts of organic chemistry. Topics include the structure and bonding, nomenclature and type of reactions for alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons. The chemical reactions of functional groups and substituted hydrocarbons such as alkyl halides, alcohols, phenols, ethers, amines; carbonyls: aldehydes, ketones; carboxylic acids, esters, amides will be covered as well as stereo-chemical principles. This course may not substitute for CH 221A and is not open to anyone who has completed CH 222A. Prerequisite: CH 112A or CH 125A. Offered every spring semester. Three lectures and one laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the chemistry of carbon. The concepts of bonding, classification by functional groups, structure, and reactions are presented from a mechanistic viewpoint. Stereochemical principles are emphasized. Infrared and NMR spectroscopy are introduced. The laboratory offers experiments to supplement the lecture material. Prerequisite: CH 112A or CH 125A. Offered every fall semester. Three lectures and one laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of CH 221A. Major emphasis is on the aromatic compounds, and organic compounds containing the carbonyl functional group. The application of organic reactions in multistep synthesis is emphasized. The laboratory offers experiments to supplement the lecture material. Prerequisite: CH 221A. Offered every spring semester. Three lectures and one laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits
Modern concepts of atomic structure and chemical bonding are emphasized. Topics include structure and bonding, the solid state, special topics (solution chemistry, acid-bases, hydrides, noble gas compounds, etc.), crystal field theory, inorganic spectroscopy, and nuclear chemistry. Visible spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility measurements are introduced. The laboratory offers experiments to supplement the lecture material. Prerequisite: CH 112A or CH 125A. Offered every fall semester. Three lectures and one laboratory per week.
-
4.00 Credits

Topics include gravimetric methods, volumetric methods, acid-base systems, complex formation, oxidation-reduction methods, basic electrochemical methods, and visible spectroscopy. The laboratory offers experiments to supplement the lecture material, with emphasis on making highprecision, accurate measurements. Prerequisite: CH 112A or CH 125A. Offered every spring semester. Three lectures and one laboratory per week.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to the characterization and analysis of evidence by physical, chemical, and biological means. The history and precedence of scientific evidence will be outlined concentrating on topics such as fingerprinting, blood typing, fiber analysis, and dye chemistry. Pre-/Co-requisite CH 222A. Offered in the fall semester. Integrated lecture and laboratory meets once per week.
-
0.00 Credits
