4.00 Credits
Fall semester, even years. 4 semester hours. Determining the composition of materials is fundamental to the chemical and physical sciences. Students in this course will apply the methods of gravimetry, titrimetry, spectroscopy and electrochemistry to the analysis of chemical samples. Analyses will incorporate chemical equilibria and the principles of precipitation, acid-base, redox and complex-formation reactions. In addition, the treatment of quantitative data and forming conclusions will be presented. The laboratory will emphasize the refinement of technique to enable both precision and accuracy in determinations. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM102.
-
3.00 Credits
Fall semester, even years. 3 semester hours. Considering history as a web of related events rather than as a series of unrelated time-lines allows interesting connections between seemingly unrelated historical events. This course looks at how seemingly unrelated events in history are connected to various chemical discoveries, and also how these chemical discoveries led to unforeseen future results. Although chemistry will be the recurring thread throughout the connections made in the course, the discussions of chemical concepts and discoveries will be at a level easily understandable by students with just a basic background in chemistry and science.

4.00 Credits
Fall semester. 4 semester hours. An introduction to the chemistry of carbon-containing compounds, concentrating on the structures, properties, and reactions of some of the important families of organic compounds. Considerable emphasis is placed on reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry. The laboratory experiments introduce important techniques for the isolation and preparation of compounds, chromatographic methods of analysis, and IR and NMR spectroscopy. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory session per week. Prerequisite: CHM102.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring semester. 4 semester hours. This course, a continuation of CHM300, concentrates on the chemistry of additional important families of organic compounds, emphasizing reaction mechanisms, synthesis, stereochemistry, and biological molecules. The laboratory experiments include the synthesis and analysis of compounds with biological and industrial importance, qualitative analysis, and advanced NMR techniques. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory session per week. Prerequisite: CHM300.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring semester, odd years. 4 semester hours. This course will present the principles of modern chemical instrumentation and the role of the chemist in the interpretation of the output of instruments such as spectra. Skills developed by students in this course are directly transferable to many careers in chemical and biochemical analysis or research. The preparation of samples and selection of suitable instrument parameters will also be considered. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM201. Recommended corequisite is CHM300.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring semester, odd years. 4 semester hours. An upper-level science elective for students interested in seeing the fascinating role that chemistry plays in many current challenges to our environment (air, water, and soil) and to our energy needs. The chemistry of natural processes will be discussed, along with the causes of, and potential solutions to, various environmental problems. The laboratory portion of the course includes analytical techniques, separations, chemical synthesis, modeling, and experimental design. Three lecture hours plus one three-hour laboratory session per week. Independent laboratory work is required. Prerequisite: CHM300. (Completion or concurrent enrollment in CHM201 and CHM301 is advised.)
-
4.00 Credits
Fall semester, odd years. 4 semester hours. The relationship between heat and work (thermodynamics) is enormously powerful for predicting the properties and behavior of material systems in chemistry and biology. Students will explore the properties of matter (gases, liquids, solids, solutions and mixtures) from the perspective of classical thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium with an emphasis on biological molecules and their interactions. Students will also explore a complementary view in the rate at which systems change (kinetics) including matter transport processes like diffusion. The laboratory will involve students developing and refining various apparatus for the measurement of physical properties. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: CHM102, PHS201 and MAT175.
-
4.00 Credits
Spring semester, even years. 4 semester hours The topics from Biophysical chemistry will be explored from the atomic and molecular viewpoint using quantum mechanics. This allows a deeper understanding of bonding structures and computer molecular models, especially of biological macromolecules. Students will also explore the principles of spectroscopic methods, including NMR, that probe molecular structure and properties. The laboratory will be largely based on using molecular modeling software and the use of instrumentation for molecular spectroscopy. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM401.
-
3.00 Credits
Spring semester, even years. 3 semester hours. Applications of NMR Spectroscopy" is as follows: "The theory and instrumentation of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) will be examined. This course emphasizes structure elucidation using 1-D and 2-D NMR techniques. Students will get hands-on experience in acquiring, processing, and interpreting NMR spectra. They will also address designing suitable NMR experiments for specific applications. Three hours of lecture/laboratory per week. Corequisite: CHM301.
-
3.00 Credits
On demand. 1-15 semester hours. A maximum of three semester hours can be counted toward the major in chemistry. This course is a guided work experience in an already established place of business. The student must arrange the internship in agreement with a chemistry advisor and the office of career services. The internship should relate to the student's major or minor area of study. Contract is required. Prerequisites: junior or senior standing.
