1.25 Credits
An introduction to chemistry for science and non-science majors. Both courses use in-class experimentation, discussion and lecture to ask and answer questions of general chemical interest, including applications in biology, physics, astronomy and geology. Students discuss experimental data using the logic and language of chemistry and are frequently asked to substantiate conclusions using both conceptual and quantitative reasoning. Topics include water and its unique properties, atomic structure and properties, molecular structure and its relationship to properties of different substances, types of chemical bonding and reactions, redox systems and electrochemistry, reaction equilibria, thermodynamics and kinetics. Three class periods plus one laboratory period per week; students may also participate in weekly peer-led team learning workshops. Prerequisites: secondary school algebra or enrollment in a college mathematics course. A grade of 1.75 or higher in 103 is required to fulfill the prerequisite for enrollment in 104. A grade of 2.0 or higher in 104 is required to fulfill the prerequisite for enrollment in 200-level courses. Required for the neuroscience major.
-
1.25 - 3.00 Credits
A one-semester introductory chemistry course designed primarily for those with strong high school preparation in chemistry. Atomic theory, periodic trends, chemical bonding, thermodynamics, kinetics, equilibrium chemistry and electrochemistry are presented. Completion of 105 with a grade of 2.0 or higher satisfies the general chemistry prerequisite for enrollment in 200-level courses. Course includes lectures plus one laboratory per week. Students not majoring in chemistry may elect to take a second semester of general chemistry laboratory (without lecture) to satisfy admissions requirements for some medical programs. Prerequisites: secondary school algebra or enrollment in or completion of a college mathematics course. It is suggested that students contemplating enrollment in this course consult with the instructor or department chair. Students may drop back into a traditional section of 103 at any point through the first examination. Offered only in the fall semester.
-
1.25 Credits
A one-semester course designed for non-science majors and environmental studies majors. Basic chemical concepts are examined with special reference to the environment. Topics include elements and compounds; atomic structure and the periodic table; chemical change, energy and entropy; oxidation and reduction; acidity; and the 10 questions a chemist needs to answer before fully characterizing a chemical reaction. These topics are related to pollution, waste management, recycling, energy sources and the limits to growth. Lecture only (1 unit) or Lecture plus one laboratory per week (1.25 units). Also offered as Environmental Studies 106.
-
1.25 - 3.00 Credits
An introductory course dealing with the chemical, physical and logical principles underlying quantitative chemical analysis. Among the broad topics treated are data evaluation, titrimetry, solution equilibria, potentiometry and absorption spectroscopy. Lectures plus one laboratory per week. Prerequisite: Chemistry 104 or 105 (with a 2.0 grade or higher) or permission of instructor. Also offered, with variations, as Environmental Studies 205.
-
1.25 Credits
An introductory course focusing on the chemistry of naturally occurring and synthetic carbon compounds; description and determination of structure with an emphasis on spectroscopic methods; reactivity and its theoretical basis; mechanism; and synthesis of organic compounds. The microscale laboratory emphasizes preparation, purification and identification of organic compounds, isolation of organic substances, mechanistic studies and separation techniques. Spectroscopic methods are applied to structure elucidation. Prerequisite: Chemistry 104 or 105 with a grade of 2.0 or higher for 221. A grade of 2.0 or higher in Chemistry 221 is a prerequisite for 222. Chemistry 221 is required for the neuroscience major.
-
4.00 Credits
This course is designed for chemistry majors and students in environmental studies who have a strong background in chemistry. It explores the sources and levels of chemical pollutants, the pathways along which they move through the environment and the toxicological effect they have on humans and other living things. A laboratory program accompanies the lecture. Prerequisite: Chemistry 221 or permission of instructor. Also offered as Environmental Studies 306.
-
4.00 Credits
The course is organized around several themes: the relationship of structure to function in biomolecules, production of energy, regulation and control of metabolism. Topics covered to illustrate these themes include enzyme action and regulation, hemoglobin and the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide, metabolism of carbohydrates for energy production, structure and function of biological membranes, and structure and function of molecules involved in transmission and expression of genetic information. Prerequisite: Chemistry 222 or permission of instructor. Counts toward the neuroscience major (cellular track). Also offered as Biochemistry 309 and Biology 309.
-
4.00 Credits
This course focuses on the organic chemistry of drug design and on the molecular level basis of drug action. Topics include the pharmaceutical, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic phases of drug action, drug targets and a survey of the drug development process from lead identification to marketed therapeutic agent. Representative pharmaceuticals are studied in depth in terms of discovery and mode of therapeutic action. Competitive, non-competitive, irreversible and mechanism-based "suicide" enzyme inhibitors; G-protein coupled receptor, ligandgated ion channel and transporter protein targeted agonists and antagonists and DNA targeted agents are covered. Prerequisite: Chemistry 222.
