3.00 Credits
Intensive introduction to the composition and properties of matter, models for atomic structure and bonding, periodicity of elements, stoichiometry, states of matter, solutions and organic chemistry. Prerequisites: a high school background in chemistry with a grade of B- or better or minimum grade of C in CHEM 111. Three hours lecture. CHEM 123 must be taken concurrently. For science majors. Offered in fall. Fulfills lab science requirement for science and math majors.
-
3.00 Credits
This second-semester course builds on skills developed in CHEM 121. By inquiring about particle action and interaction, theoretical models are developed and chemical behavior is described within the context of gas laws, thermochemistry, kinetics, equilibrium, acid-base theory, complex ions, entropy and free energy, electrochemistry, and nuclear reactions. Honors Track offered for select students.Prerequisite: Minimum grade of C in CHEM 121. Three hours lecture. CHEM 124 W to be taken concurrently. For science majors. Offered in spring
-
1.00 Credits
Experiments are performed to introduce or illustrate concepts studied on CHEM 121. Foundational laboratory skills are introduced and reinforced throughout the semester. Emphasis is given to careful measurement and recording of data in a laboratory notebook. Students also prepare for lab sessions by determining the purpose and questions each lab exercise addresses. Includes use of molecular modeling software, guided inquiry projects, and FT-IR analysis. CHEM 121 must be taken concurrently. Three hours laboratory

1.00 Credits
Experiments are performed to introduce or illustrate the concepts studied in CHE 121 and 122. Emphasis is placed on careful recording and analysis of observations. CHE 123 develops foundational laboratory skills. CHE 124 includes an introduction to qualitative analysis, computer-interfaced data collection and scientific writing. CHE 121 must be taken concurrently with CHE 123 and CHE 122 must be taken concurrently with CHE 124. Minimum grade of C in CHE 123 is prerequisite to CHE 124. Three hours laboratory. Offered only to Esperanza College Students.
-
1.00 Credits
Experiments are designed to integrate with and enhance the theory discussed in CHEM 122. Laboratory skills in pipetting, titration, dilution, measurement, and visible spectroscopy are further developed. Includes an introduction to calorimetry, pH, qualitative analysis, computer-interfaced data collection, and the use of AAS. This course is designated as a writing intensive course for science majors with empahsis on analyzing results, drawing conclusions, and communicating observations through formal discussion writinng. A peer review process is used throughout the semester to further refine writing skills. Minimum grade of C in CHEM 123 is prerequisite. CHEM 122 must be taken concurrently. Three hours laboratory.

Special Topics
-
1.00 Credits
This fully online course engages the fundamental skills necessary for success in a study of sophomore-level organic chemistry I. For students preparing to enroll in CHEM 211: Organic Chemistry I in the Fall semester. Helpful for the pre-med student. Topics include the structure and interactions of molecules (Lewis structures, bonding, isomers, nomenclature, intermolecular forces, acids and bases), energy pathways, and 3-dim visualization with molecular modeling software. Offered in the Summer II Session.
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces the student to the terminology, symbolism and logic that are needed to understand and solve organic chemistry problems involving nomenclature, functional group reactions, synthesis, mechanisms, and nuclear magnetic resonance. This includes the introduction to 3-D structure, a survey of functional groups, alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, stereochemistry, and introductory problems in synthesis, reaction mechanisms, and NMR.Three hours lecture. CHEM 213W must be taken concurrently. Offered in fall.
-
3.00 Credits
This course reinforces concepts from CHEM 211 and equips the student with the ability to solve organic chemistry problems involving nomenclature, functional group reactions, stereoselective synthesis, mechanisms, and structure proofs through the interpretation of mass, infrared, ultraviolet, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectra. This includes an introduction to the chemistry of the following functional groups: aromatic rings, alcohols, thiols, ethers, epoxides, sulfides, amines, and common carbonyl compounds.Three hours lecture. CHEM 214 must be taken concurrently. Offered in spring
-
1.00 Credits
This laboratory course introduces basic organic chemistry lab techniques such as recrystallization, extraction, chromatography (thin layer, column, & gas), distillation, and filtration in the context of synthesizing organic compounds and isolating natural products. NMR spectroscopy is introduced, and students learn to operate a 300 MHz FT-NMR spectrometer and interpret spectra. Three and one-half hours laboratory. CHEM 211 must be taken concurrently.
