3.00 Credits
General principles of inorganic chemistry are presented with a descriptive and practical rather than mathematical approach. Periodic relationships of elements and bonding, reactions and synthesis of inorganic compounds, acid-base chemistry are studied. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in CHM 138/118, 139/119, 238. Fall. Credit 3.
-
3.00 Credits
The chemical principles underlying the effects of air, water, and soil pollution are covered. Specific attention is paid to gas phase radical reactions, light absorption characteristics of atmospheric components, solution chemistry of fresh and salt water systems, and the mobility and chemistry of metal components of soil systems. Writing Enhanced. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in CHM 138/118, 139/119, 241, 238 and 239 (or concurrent enrollment in CHM 239). Spring even years. Credit 3.
-
1.00 Credits
Methods of searching the literature in chemistry are presented. Emphasis is placed on the use of Chemical Abstracts, Beilstein, chemical patent literature, journals, and reference collections in the several specialties of chemistry. Prerequisite: Junior standing in chemistry. Fall, Spring. Credit 1.
-
2.00 Credits
This course will involve in-depth experiments that require the use of sophisticated synthetic and analytical procedures in the areas of organic, inorganic or analytical chemistry. Writing Enhanced. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in CHM 138/118, 139/119, 238/218, 239/219, 241, 448. Spring. Credit 2.
-
4.00 Credits
Spectrophotometry, separation techniques and mass spectrometry are discussed. Specific topics include the computer’s use in the modern laboratory, ultraviolet and visible absorption, atomic absorption, flame emission, and inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy, infrared absorption, and gas and liquid chromatography. Instruments for these techniques are used in the laboratory work. Writing Enhanced. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in CHM 138/118, 139/119, 238, 239 and 241 and a minimum grade of C or concurrent enrollment in CHM 448. Four-hour laboratory. Fall. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
This course covers the philosophy of modern instrumental methods used for environmental and industrial analyses. The topics to be covered include quality control and quality assurance good laboratory practices, waste minimization and elimination, safe laboratory operation, ISO standards, EPA methodology, and statistical data analysis. Prerequisites: A minimum grade of C in CHM 241, 238 and 239, and CHM 368. Spring. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
An in-depth study of the sources of air pollution is made. Sampling procedures and the chemical analyses required for identification of pollutants are studied. Control methods for the restriction of air pollution are outlined. Four-hour laboratory. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in CHM 138/118, 139/119, 241, 238 and 239. Spring odd years. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
A survey of the spectroscopic and spectrometric methods for elucidation of structural information for chemical compounds with emphasis on the structural identification of unknowns. The methods of ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and both one- and two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy will be covered. The relative strengths, complementary nature, and utility will be discussed. The focus will be the determination of chemical structures by spectroscopic/spectrometric methods. Writing Enhanced. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in CHM 138/118, 139/119, 238/218, 239/219. Spring even years. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
The foundations of thermodynamics and spectroscopic methods (radio-frequency, microwave, infrared, Raman, UV-visible, and X-ray) are developed from first principals with an atomistic point of view. Four-hour laboratory. Writing Enhanced. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in CHM 138/118, 139/119, 238/218, 239/219, MTH 142, 143 and one year of physics. Fall. Credit 4.
-
4.00 Credits
The developments of thermochemistry, phase diagrams, equilibria, and kinetics are traced from the statistical mechanics of quantum states to the macroscopic observations of thermodynamics. Four-hour laboratory. Prerequisite: A minimum grade of C in CHM 138/118, 139/119, 238/218, 239/219, 448. Spring. Credit 4.
