4.00 Credits
An introduction to general inorganic chemistry. Major topics include measurements, atomic structure, bonding, chemical periodicity, stoichiometry, gas laws, solution chemistry, oxidation/reduction, acid/base chemistry and equilibrium. The course is designed to meet requirements in Nursing and Health Careers Programs and is a prerequisite for admission to the HFCC Nursing Program. The class is also popular among the Liberal Arts students who wish to take a science laboratory class. Three hours of lecture and two hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: 1 year of high school algebra or equivalent Note: Students with no previous chemistry background should take CHEM 091

4.00 Credits
(4 Credit Hours) This is the second course in a two-semester sequence. Course work is divided into two parts. The first part is an introduction to organic chemistry, with special emphasis on nomenclature and functional group reactivity. The second part addresses the topics of biochemistry and metabolism at an introductory level. There are three hours of lecture and three hours of laboratory each week. Prerequisites: CHEM 131 or CHEM 141 or the equivalent
-
5.00 Credits
(5 Credit Hours) A continuation of CHEM 141 with special emphasis on properties of liquids and solutions, reaction rates, chemical equilibria, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, acid/base chemistry, nuclear chemistry, and descriptive chemistry of the more common elements (as time allows). Three hours of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 141 with a grade of C or better Suggested Prerequisites: MATH 175
-
3.00 Credits
(3 Credit Hours) Fundamentals of chemical laboratory measurements and techniques. Course topics include: collection and interpretation of meaningful data; statistical analysis of data; calibration of instruments; method validation; recordkeeping; solution making; and measurement of pH. This course is designed to satisfy the requirements of the Biotechnology program. Four hours of integrated lecture and laboratory per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 141 with a grade of C or better
-
2.00 Credits
(2 Credit Hours) An introduction to quantitative analysis. This course is primarily designed to complement the two-semester sequence in general chemistry by providing an introduction to quantitative analysis (analytical chemistry) that is included in the general sequence at some transfer institutions. Four hours of integrated lecture and laboratory per week. Prerequisites: Completion of CHEM 141 (with a grade of C or better) or concurrent enrollment in CHEM 142.
-
4.00 Credits
An introduction emphasizing structural theory, stereochemistry, physical properties, reaction mechanisms, and functional group chemistry. This course covers the first semester of a full year course. CHEM 241 is a lecture course designed to meet the requirements for science majors, pre-professional biology, pre-professional chemistry, as well as premedical, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, pre-veterinary, and chemical engineering students. Students should check requirements for organic chemistry at their intended transfer institution. Four hours of lecture per week without lab. Prerequisites: CHEM 141 with a grade of C or better or permission of the instructor
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of CHEM 241 with emphasis on acid-base chemistry, spectroscopy, and retrosynthetic analysis. Reaction mechanisms and physical properties of the following functional groups will be explored: carbonyl chemistry (aldehydes, ketones, and carboxylic acid derivatives); carboxylic acids; amines; carbohydrates; lipids; amino acids, proteins; and nucleotides. This course is designed to meet the requirements for science majors, pre-professional biology, preprofessional chemistry, as well as premedical, pre-dental, pre-pharmacy, veterinary, and chemical engineering students. Four hours of lecture per week without lab. Prerequisites: CHEM 241 with a grade of C or better
-
2.00 Credits
Microscale glassware and analytical techniques are used to study fundamental organic reactions and the synthesis of organic compounds. Techniques include distillation (simple, fractional, and steam), crystallization, and extraction. Analysis of compounds includes melting points, boiling points, refractive indices, infrared spectroscopy, and chromatography (gas, thin layer, column). Approximately one hour of lecture and three hours of laboratory per week. This meets the Organic Laboratory requirement necessary to enter into Pharmacy, Medical, Dental, and Veterinary schools. Science major transfers will also need to take CHEM 244. Approximately one hour of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 141 or the equivalent and CHEM 241 (CHEM 241 can be a co-requisite with instructor's permission).
-
2.00 Credits
Microscale glassware and analytical techniques are used in this followup course to CHEM 243. The primary focus of this course is multi-step organic syntheses and proper research techniques. Practical techniques from the previous course will be applied towards the synthesis of a novel polyaromatic exaphenylbenzene, an antibacterial drug sufanilamide, the flavoring agent cinnamic acid, and the fragrance 2'-bromostyrene. Products will be analyzed (melting point/boiling point, infrared analysis, chromatographic properties (TLC, GC), solubility, refractive index) and compared to literature values to verify their veracity. Research will involve a critical analysis of competitive synthetic methods. The sequence CHEM 241, 242 (Lecture I and II) and CHEM 243, 244 (Laboratory I and II) will transfer to all Michigan universities to meet their Organic Chemistry requirements for Science Majors. Approximately one hour of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Prerequisites: CHEM 243 and CHEM 242 (CHEM 242 can be a co-requisite with instructor's permission). Note: Offered occasionally based on student demand.

4.00 Credits
This is a beginning level course in Mandarin Chinese, emphasizing the basic knowledge of language (such as the Mandarin sound system, standard sentence patterns and formal grammar), and the basic communication skills (such as correct pronunciation, the ability to carry on simple conversations, and the ability to write Chinese characters in simplified form). Students will develop the basic skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing in Chinese.
