-
3.00 Credits
Qualitative and quantitative methods of analytical chemistry are explored by utilizing a 'hands-on' approach applied to a variety of environmental samples. The course focuses on the basic components of each analytical technique or instrument, their range of environmental applications, their advantages and limitations, and the physical and chemical phenomena which form the basis of the analytical method. Basic sampling plans and designs are also discussed due to their complementary nature.

4.00 Credits
Analytical chemistry involves methods and techniques for determining the structure and composition of matter. Students in Analytical Chemistry I will attack problems of a chemical nature by learning a series of techniques that allow them to identify and quantify various components in samples. Some of the techniques involve chemical fundamentals such as stoichiometry, acid-base equilibria, and careful measurement techniques while others involve sophisticated chemical instrumentation. The lecture portion of the course will uncover the theory underlying these techniques, while the laboratory will provide an opportunity for students to address real-world analytical problems, develop their measurement skills, and gain valuable experience using analytical techniques commonly encountered in research and industry. The methods covered in this class include: gravimetric analysis, volumetric analysis (acid-base titrations), UV/V is spectrophotometry, potentiometry, and gas and liquid chromatography.

4.00 Credits
Biochemistry involves the study of the chemical components of living creatures-from viruses to mammals-to explain how and why chemical reactions happen. Students will learn in detail the molecular components of cells (proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids) and study the concepts of protein dynamics (kinetics, specificity, and regulation). The laboratory will cover selected techniques of modern protein biochemistry.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers important topics that are not discussed in the first semester of biochemistry. Students will study details of cellular metabolism and its regulation and learn about the information transfer mechanisms in living cells. The laboratory will include studies of biochemical properties of lipids, carbohydrates, and RNA, and an independent research project.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the law of thermodynamics and their application to solutions and phase equilibria; chemical kinetics; electrochemistry; and an introduction to quantum chemistry (atomic and molecular structure); and statistical mechanics.

-
3.00 Credits
The course is designed to study the various biochemical processes of photosynthetic carbon dioxide fixation in higher plants and in photo-synthesis bacteria. Also included is the effect of changing environmental conditions on photosynthesis.
-
4.00 Credits
The application of physio-chemical principles to understanding structure and reactivity in main group and transition elements. Valence Bond, Crystal Field, VSEPR, and LCAO-MO will be applied to describe the bonding in coordination compounds. Organometallic and bio-inorganic chemistry will be treated, as will boranes, cluster and ring systems, and inorganic polymers. The laboratory will involve both synthetic and analytic techniques and interpretation of results.
