A one-semester course in the fundamentals of general inorganic chemistry. Principal topics include atomic structure; atomic-molecular description of matter, solutions, and equilibrium; and basic calculations and measurements. Recommended for general studies students and students in nursing and health information management. Three lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week. Spring semester.
-
3.00 Credits
A one-semester course in the fundamentals of organic chemistry and biochemistry. Principal topics include organic nomenclature; chemistry of functional groups; structures and reactions of fats, carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids. Recommended for students in nursing. Three lectures per week; no laboratory. Prerequisite: CH 101-102 or CH 111 or consent of the instructor. Students must receive a "C" or better in the prerequisite to enroll in CH112.Fall semester.
-
4.00 Credits
A detailed study of chemical equilibria and the classical methods of chemical analysis. Solubility, acid-base reactions, oxidation-reduction chemistry, complexometric reactions, phase equilibrium and the interaction of light with matter are studied in the context of analytical techniques, including volumetric analysis, titrimetry, gravimetry, chromatography and spectrophotometry. Basic issues of chemical hygiene are also covered along with experimental error and statistics. The laboratory stresses good laboratory technique through the quantitative analysis of unknown samples by classical and modern methods. Three 50-minute lectures and one 4-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: CH 101-102. Spring semester.
-
8.00 Credits
The chemistry of carbon-based compounds. The course will examine the main classes of organic compounds in terms of preparation, structure, physical and spectral properties, methods of functional group transformation, and mechanism of reaction. In the second semester of the laboratory sequence, students will perform an independent organic laboratory project. There will be an emphasis on oral and written scientific communication of the projects results. Three lectures and one 3 1/2- hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: Grade of "C" or betterin CH 102 or consent of instructor. Students must pass CH 301 with a "C" or better to enroll in CH 302. Offered annually. CH 301 Fallsemester. CH 302 Spring semester.
-
4.00 Credits
An examination of modern instrumental methods of chemical analysis from a theoretical and practical standpoint. Students learn the chemical principles that underlie instrument operation and study the functions of instrument components and their organization into chemical measurement systems. An emphasis is placed on the utility and limitations of each instrument. Principal instrumental techniques include atomic and molecular optical spectroscopy, gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and electrochemical methods. The laboratory provides students with hands-on access to a wide variety of state-of-the-art chemical instrumentation. Three 50-minute lectures and one 3-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CH 205. Fall semester. Fulfills writing intensive requirement.
-
2.00 Credits
CH 310 is a seminar-style course where students will learn to read and interpret data produced by chemistry instruments. This course is intended for chemistry majors who are planning to attend graduate school, but others who are interested in how spectrometry is used to determine structure may find this course interesting. The class will meet twice weekly at the designated time. Prerequisite : CH 302.
-
4.00 Credits
A study of the chemical principles governing biological macromolecules. Topics include protein structure and function, enzyme mechanisms and kinetics, carbohydrates and lipids, energetics and major metabolic pathways. The laboratory will include both computer simulations and an introduction to current molecular techniques in the field. Both lecture and lab will emphasize problem solving and experimental data analysis. Three lectures and one 4-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisites: CH 301-302, BI 161. Fall semester. Fulfills Writing Intensive requirement.
-
8.00 Credits
Subjects covered are thermodynamics; group theory, statistical mechanics, rates and mechanisms; quantum mechanics; atomic and molecular structure. Lab explores various experimental strategies and techniques of physical chemistry and includes investigations of energetics, molecular structure and reaction dynamics requiring the use of instrumental systems. Two semester course: Three 50 minute lectures and one 3 hour lab per week. Prerequisite: CH 302, MA 233 and PHYS 206. Student must pass prerequisites with a "C" or betterto enroll in CH 391-392. Offered annually. CH 391 Fall semester. CH 392 Spring semester.
