3.00 Credits
This course introduces chemical concepts and how they impact human beings in their daily activities. The intent is to develop an appreciation for the molecular world and the fundamental role it plays in daily life and to develop an understanding of the major scientific and technological issues affecting our society. The course examines matter, atomic theory, bonding, molecular structure, acids and bases, states of matter and organic chemistry. Other topics include the role that chemistry plays in energy production, especially from fossil fuels and alternative fuel sources, and in the structure and properties of polymers and plastics including recycling issues. The course is designed as a science elective for business, humanities, and social science majors. Students may not receive credit for both CHEM 100 and SCI 107. Prerequisite: MATH 101 or satisfactory performance on the Mathematics Placement Test. CHEM 111 is a laboratory course designed to accompany this course, but students are not required to take both the lecture and the laboratory course.

3.00 Credits
Designed for nursing majors and students who do not intend to major in science or engineering. This course presents principles of chemical constitution and their relation to chemical, physical behavior with particular emphasis on compounds of biological interest. Topics include atomic structure, chemical bonding, properties of gases and solutions, acid/base equilibria, organic functional groups and their reactions, and properties of biologically important molecules-proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids. Nursing majors are required to take CHEM 106 concurrently with CHEM 105. Prerequisites: High school chemistry; MATH 101 or satisfactory performance on the Mathematics Placement Test. 3 hours lecture. 1 hour recitation.
-
1.00 Credits
A laboratory program closely coordinated with and designed to accompany CHEM 105. Experiments develop basic principles of laboratory technique with an emphasis on observations and measurement. Qualitative and quantitative characterizations and syntheses are performed. Nursing majors are required to take CHEM 106 concurrently with CHEM 105. Prerequisites: High school chemistry and concurrent enrollment in CHEM 105 or permission of the instructor; MATH 101 or satisfactory performance on the Mathematics Placement Test. 3 hours laboratory.
-
3.00 Credits
This is the first semester of a two semester introductory chemistry sequence for science, engineering, and pre-med programs. Topics include elements, atomic structure, molecular structure, chemical reactions, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, gases, liquids, and solids. 3 hours lecture. 1 hour recitation. Prerequisites: High school chemistry or permission of the instructor; MATH 101 or satisfactory performance on the Mathematics Placement Test. Corequisite: CHEM 147.
-
3.00 Credits
This is the second semester of a two semester introductory chemistry sequence for science, engineering, and pre-med programs. Topics include kinetics, equlibria, acid base reactions, aqueous equilibria, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. 3 hours lecture. 1 hour recitation. Prerequisite: CHEM 145. Corequisite: CHEM 148.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the basic laboratory exercises in general chemistry correlated to the material in CHEM 145. Fundamentals of measurement and quantitative aspects of chemistry are emphasized. The course includes safe handling of solids and liquids, physical separations, inorganic syntheses, solution concentrations, gas laws, energy transfer, micro-scale reactions, and molecular models. 3 hours laboratory. Prerequisites: High school chemistry or permission of the instructor; MATH 101 or satisfactory performance on the Mathematics Placement Test. Corequisite: CHEM 145 or successful completion of CHEM 145.
-
3.00 Credits
This course provides the basic laboratory exercises in general chemistry correlated to the material in CHEM 146. Fundamentals of measurement and quantitative aspects of chemistry are emphasized. The course includes basic concepts of physical chemistry, including colligative properties, kinetics, and equilibria, in addition to acid-base chemistry, coordination chemistry, and electrochemistry. The use of computers in data collection and analysis is emphasized. 3 hours laboratory. Prerequisite: CHEM 147. Corequisite: CHEM 146 or successful completion of CHEM 146.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a continuation of CHEM 105 designed for students who do not intend to major in science or engineering. A background in organic functional group chemistry is assumed and the concepts and reactions of the latter are applied to a detailed study of the chemistry of biological systems. Emphasis is placed on the biologically important compounds such as proteins and enzymes, lipids, hormones, and the nucleic acids. 3 lecture hours. Prerequisite: CHEM 105.
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory is closely correlated with CHEM 205 and serves to illustrate the principles of organic and bio-organic chemistry examined in that course. 3 laboratory hours. Prerequisite: CHEM 106. Corequisite: CHEM 205.
-
3.00 Credits
A comprehensive study of the structure, properties, and interactions of matter; the properties and theories of gases, liquids, solids, and solutions; the laws and concepts of thermodynamics, equilibrium, thermochemistry, and electrochemistry; kinetic theory; and the properties of surfaces. For majors in engineering, and in industrial and management engineering. Offered every fall semester. Prerequisites: CHEM 145-148, MATH 242, PHYS 162-164.
