  • Chemistry 161: Physiological Chemistry I SM

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    This course is intended for non-science majors, and is particularly aimed at those entering various healthcare fields, environmental studies, neuroscience, and those wishing to teach elementary school or middle school. This course will provide an introduction to the principles of inorganic and organic chemistry. Topics include: atomic theory and nuclear chemistry, the periodic table, chemical bonds, states of matter, chemical reactivity, principles of equilibrium and reaction rates, acids and bases, and the structure and reactivity of organic compounds including alkyl, aryl, alcohol, carbonyl, and amino compounds. Activities in this course will emphasize analytical thinking and problem-solving particularly in the area of quantitative calculations.

  • Chemistry 162: Physiological Chemistry II SM

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    This is the second semester of a two course sequence intended for nonscience majors, and is particularly aimed at those entering various healthcare fields, environmental studies, neuroscience, and those wishing to teach elementary school or middle school. This course will build upon the inorganic and organic chemistry topics introduced in the previous course, and explore how they apply to biological systems. Topics include: the structure and properties of the various food groups (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins), biological reactions including enzyme kinetics, metabolic pathways and bioenergetics, genetic expression including DNA and RNA structure. Activities will continue to involve analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, and will be geared towards the application of chemical principles to the structure and function of biological systems. Prerequisite: Chemistry 161

  • Chemistry 204: Physical Science SM

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    A non-majors course. This is a comprehensive but not highly technical presentation of the essential concepts of physical science. While the subject matter is derived from the major branches of physical science (astronomy, chemistry, geology, meteorology, and physics), it is studied as an integrated interpretation of the physical world. The laboratory is de signed to be of special application for the prospective elementary teacher through the establishment of demonstrations and experiments illustrating salient concepts.

  • Chemistry 208: Introductory Electronics

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    An introduction to the principles of electronics and the uses of electronic components. The laboratory will investigate the fundamentals of linear and digital circuits while using basic laboratory instruments such as oscilloscopes, waveform generators, and digital multimeters. Topics will include basic circuit theory, passive devices, junction and field effect transistors, operational amplifiers, digital logic, integrated circuit chips, and optical solid-state devices. This course is designed for physics and chemistry majors and entails a considerable amount of problem solving. While not required, a familiarity with calculus would be helpful. Prerequisite: secondary school physics or permission. Also listed as Physics 208.

  • Chemistry 220: Introduction to Organic Chemistry

    4.00 Credits
    Hiram College

    This course serves as an introduction to the fundamental aspects of bonding and structure as they pertain to the molecules of carbon. Included in this discussion will be concepts of shape, polarity, and stereochemistry. Students will be asked to apply this knowledge to explain physical properties and spectroscopic properties of the major families of organic molecules including the major classes of biological compounds. They will also be asked to use these concepts to predict the reactivity of the various functional groups and classes of organic compounds. General reaction patterns of organic molecules will be studied, including the concepts of a reaction mechanism, free-energy changes, and chemical kinetics. Students will draw upon this knowledge to explore specific reactions in organic chemistry including SN1 and SN2 reactions, and metal-mediated reactions. In lab, students will gain experience with a variety of techniques including extraction, distillation, crystallization, and chromatography. Hands-on use of instruments, including IR and GC-MS will be an integral part of the course. All of these techniques will be used in a variety of synthesis and isolation labs, many of which have a discovery component to them. Finally, this course will serve as an introduction to the literature of chemistry and research ethics. By the end of the course, it is expected that students will be able to use the Physician's Desk Reference, The Merck Index, the Aldrich Catalogue, and the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics to find pertinent physical data for all organic molecules. Students will also be able to apply research standards to identify ethical practices in scientific research. Prerequisite: the equivalent of Chemistry 121.
