3.00 Credits
Pre-requisite: CHEM 101, BIO 101 or PHYS 101 or permission of the instructor. This course examines the role that chemistry plays in our lives by studying some of the chemicals most widely used by human beings. After a brief review of some basic chemical concepts, one or more chemicals from the following areas will be studied: cosmetics, nutrition, plastics and fibers, cleaning agents, medicines, and drugs. In each case, the science underlying the chemical's mode of action, the history of its development, and its benefits and risks will be considered. This is a one semester course without a lab. Therefore, CHEM 101 followed by this course would meet the General College Requirements for the Natural Science Perspective. 3 cr.

Prerequisite: BIO 101, PHYS 101, or CHEM 101. In this course, students will explore the science behind the 'finer things of life.' Thecreation of paintings, perfume, wine, pieces of art glass and pottery, gourmet food, and other luxuries depend upon chemical, biological, and physical processes. Understanding these transformations and how they are used creatively is essential to both the development and preservation of works of art. In addition, a discussion of the biochemical processes that are central to the perception (and misperception) of these 'fine' things will be included. This is a onesemester course without a lab. Therefore, BIO 101, PHYS 101, or CHEM 101 followed by this course would meet the General College Requirements for the Natural Science Perspective. 3 cr.

3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 101 or permissions of instructor. Crime scene chemistry will introduce students to the chemical, physical, and biological principles that contribute to successfully collecting, preserving, and analyzing evidence from criminal investigations. Students will gain a realistic view of the capabilities and limitations of the scientific techniques used in forensic examinations. This course fulfills the natural science perspective. 3 cr.
-
1.00 - 3.00 Credits
Topics in chemistry that are not offered on a regular basis are examined. The course may be repeated for credit if the topic varies. 1-3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 106; CHEM 219 or concurrently. This is an introduction to the basic principles of organic chemistry. Emphasis is on functional group recognition and reactivity of the simpler structural classes. Nomenclature, stereochemistry, and selected reaction mechanism are studied. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 209; CHEM 219; CHEM 220 or concurrently. This is a continuation of CHEM 209. The higher functional groups and structural classes are considered. Additional reaction mechanisms, synthesis, and spectroscopic methods are introduced. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 106; CHEM 221 or concurrently. This is a study of the theory and methodology of classical and modern analytical chemistry. Topics include statistical treatment of data, errors, precipitation processes, the equilibria associated with gravimetric procedures, acid-base and redox titrations, and related items. 3 cr.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 209 or concurrently. Laboratory for CHEM 209. The laboratory exercises are designed to increase students' skills in planning, conducting, and interpreting the results of experimental work. Students are introduced to the basics of synthetic organic chemistry techniques. Four-hour lab. 1 cr. Laboratory fee $50.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 210 or concurrently. Laboratory for CHEM 210. This is a continuation of CHEM 219. Emphasis is on the identification of chemical compounds by both chemical and spectroscopic techniques. Four-hour lab. 1 cr. Laboratory fee $50.
-
3.00 Credits
Prerequisite: CHEM 211 or concurrently. Laboratory for CHEM 211. The objective of the laboratory is the development of precise experimental techniques and organizational skills. Classical gravimetric and volumetric methods are applied in order to determine the percent composition of several samples of minerals, ores, or alloys, and to characterize qualitative aspects of selected systems. Four-hour lab. 1 cr. Laboratory fee $50.
