3.00 Credits
Second course of a sequence designed to introduce the student majoring in science to the properties of organic compounds. The entire sequence covers bonding structure, stereochemistry, nomenclature, chemical and physical properties of each functional group, acid/base phenomena, reaction mechanisms and kinetics, organic synthesis, and an introduction to spectroscopic structure determination. Enrollment Requirement: CHEM 201 and 201L with minimum grades of C (2.0) in each.
-
2.00 Credits
The laboratory experiments are designed to illustrate the basic techniques of organic chemistry and to complement the lecture material covered in CHEM 202. Six hours of laboratory. Enrollment Requirement: CHEM 201/201L with a minimum grade of C (2.0). Co/Prerequisite: CHEM 202.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces quantitative approaches to chemical equilibria and kinetics. Fundamental principles of thermodynamics introduced in CHEM 150 are explored in greater depth. Topics include solubility, acids and bases, oxidation and reduction, and nuclear chemistry. Applications of these topics to practical chemical analysis are discussed. Corequisite for chemistry and biochemistry majors only: CHEM 275. Enrollment Requirement: MATH 160, CHEM 202.
-
3.00 Credits
A laboratory designed to give chemistry majors practical experience in standard methods of separation and quantitative analysis. These are applied to investigations of the fundamental topics presented in CHEM 250, and to analyses with industrial, environmental, or medical relevance. Volumetric, gravimetric, spectrophotometric, chromatographic, and electrochemical methods of analysis may be included. One hour of lecture and six hours of laboratory. Enrollment Requirement: MATH 160. Corequisite: CHEM 250.
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the student to techniques of finding, reading, and writing chemical and other scientific literature for upper-division work in the natural sciences. Includes standard reference works in Chemistry, journals and monographs, Chemical Abstracts, Science Citation Index, and other print and online resources. Students write research proposals and journal-quality scientific papers, including figures and graphs using up-to-date computer tools. Students learn strategies for reading difficult scientific papers and give oral presentations of research. Enrollment Requirement: CHEM 201.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the basic chemical processes in the environment. The subject matter will include environmentally related processes of both natural and human origin. Also included will be the chemistry relevant to air, water, and land-based pollution. All areas to be studied will utilize the ideas of chemical bonding, kinetics, and/or thermodynamics as a basis for understanding the environmental processes. Enrollment Requirement: CHEM 201 and 250.
-
3.00 Credits
A survey on chemicals of natural and industrial origin found in the environment, with emphasis on the chemical reactions of these substances and the effect on the quality of life on planet Earth.The areas covered are: chemical structures, inorganic and organic chemicals of natural and synthetic origins and the reactions of these chemicals, the effects of these chemicals on the environment (the atmosphere, soil, water ways, plants, and animals, especially human nutrition and health.) Satisfies the Liberal Studies requirement for Earth Science. Intended for the non-chemistry major.
-
3.00 Credits
Structure, function, and properties of bioorganic/biochemical molecules important to life, health and nutrition. The areas covered are: atomic and molecular structure, chemical and physical properties of bio-organic functional groups, carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, proteins, enzymes, hormones, nucleic acids, digestion, nutrition. Also discusses the aesthetic, humanistic and practical aspects of science, where applicable, related to economic, health, historical (including contributions made by women and minorities), and/or political issues influenced by chemistry. Intended for the non-chemistry major.
-
3.00 Credits
An introduction to the scientific principles involved in the production of energy, with emphasis on the processes that influence world-wide energy policy. The subjects covered may include: energy from fossil fuels, alternative energy sources (e.g. solar, biomass, hydrogen, fuel cells, etc.), nuclear energy, and energy production in living organisms. Also discussed are the economic, environmental, political, and social issues surrounding energy production. This course is intended for the non-chemistry major. Intended for the non-chemistry major.
-
3.00 Credits
Intended for the non-science major, the goal of this course is to introduce students to the fundamental concept in the physical and life sciences. Popular motion pictures, television programs and commercials, and video documentaries that contain scientific themes will be used to introduce relevant concepts, and will also serve as a common background from which students can expand their scientific understanding. Also offered as PHYS 315. Students may not receive credit for both.
