5.00 Credits
Studies principles of atomic and molecular structure, bonding, stoichiometry, states of matter, kinetic molecular theory, and solutions. Corresponding laboratory experiments include volumetric and gravimetric analyses, a qualitative study of reactions, visible spectrophotometry, and problem-based analyses. Intended for all students whose majors require general chemistry, including science majors and preprofessionals. The course also satisfies a general education laboratory science requirement for students with previous chemistry experience. IAI P1 902L, IAI BIO 906, IAI EGR 961, IAI CHM 911, IAI NUR 906 Prerequisite: Two semesters of high school chemistry, or CHM 110 and MTH 080 or MTH 087 with grades of C or better, or consent of instructor.
-
5.00 Credits
Continues CHM 121 as the second semester of a general chemistry sequence intended for all students whose major requires a full year of general chemistry, including science majors and pre-professionals. Includes the principles of chemical kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base reactions, electrochemistry, and thermodynamics. Also introduces topics in organic, nuclear, transition metal, and descriptive chemistry. Laboratory includes experiments related to lecture material. IAI BIO 907, IAI EGR 962, IAI CHM 912, IAI NUR 907 Prerequisite: CHM 121 with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
Introduces principles and health applications of organic chemistry and biochemistry. Studies the structure, nomenclature and reactions of organic compounds. Also studies carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, metabolic pathways and bioenergetics. Includes related laboratory exercises. Intended for students in the allied health sciences but open to all non-physical science majors. Prerequisite: CHM 110 or CHM 121 with a grade of C or better or placement exam and consent of the chemistry department chair.
-
4.00 Credits
Surveys topics of organic chemistry covering nomenclature, structure, reactions and synthesis of the major classes of organic compounds, including hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and amines. The laboratory includes experiments in distillation, crystallization, chromatography, extraction, synthesis and analysis. IAI NUR 908 Prerequisite: CHM 100, CHM 110, or CHM 121 with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.
-
5.00 Credits
Applies modern theories of electronic structures to the study of chemical and physical properties of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkyl halides. Students also study reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry as they apply to the above classes of organic compounds. Laboratory includes syntheses, qualitative organic analyses, IR and visible spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, thin layer chromatography, HPLC, polarimetry, and refractometry. Intended primarily for science majors and pre-professionals. IAI BIO 908, IAI EGR 963, IAI CHM 913 Prerequisite: CHM 122 with a grade of C or better, or consent of instructor.
-
5.00 Credits
Continues CHM 204. IAI BIO 909, IAI EGR 964, IAI CHM 914 Prerequisite: CHM 204 with a grade of C or better.
-
5.00 Credits
Introduces theory and applications of sampling and quantitative chemical analysis with a focus on acid-base equilibria, complexation, extraction and chromatography, solubility, precipitation, redox reactions, and activity. Considerable emphasis is placed on extended equilibrium concepts and the fundamentals of spectroscopy. Laboratory experiments are related to lecture topics; they emphasize experimental precision and accuracy and include spreadsheetbased computer calculations. Prerequisite: CHM 122 or equivalent with a grade of C or better.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides experimental exploration of an authentic scientific research topic under the supervision of a faculty member. This laboratory course is designed to teach the principles and practice of modern experimental chemistry. Before registering, students must submit to the Department of Chemistry a contract with the instructor for accomplishing a defined research task. Credit is contingent on the submission of a final report. Prerequisite: CHM 121 with a grade C or better, prior consultation with instructor, completed contract, and consent of Department Chair.
-
3.00 Credits
Provides additional opportunity for students to do experimental exploration of an authentic scientific research topic under the supervision of a faculty member. The laboratory course is designed to give students more time to work on a research project. Before registering, students must submit to the Department of Chemistry a contract with the instructor for accomplishing a defined research task. Credit is contingent on the submission of a final report.. Prerequisite: CHM 295 with a grade B or better, prior consultation with instructor, completed contract and consent of the Department Chair.
