3.00 Credits
Designed for students majoring in social sciences and humanities. A study of the basic principles of chemistry. The approach is qualitative, with reference to discoveries that were important in the development of the science of chemistry. The principles are applied to discussions of current environmental concerns, such as air and water pollution, global warming, ozone depletion, alternative energy sources, and waste disposal. Additional topics may include aspects of metallurgy and geochemistry. No previous work in chemistry is assumed. Three hours (lecturedemonstrations) per week. Meets general academic requirement S.
-
3.00 Credits
Designed as a basic course for students majoring in the physical or biological sciences. A study of the fundamental principles of chemistry and of the important elements and their compounds. Lecturedemonstrations and computerassisted instruction are employed to illustrate concepts. Weekly recitations provide a small group setting for discussions and problemsolving. A laboratory component introduces students to a variety of fundamental techniques with emphasis on volumetric analysis, chemical equilibrium, and descriptive chemistry of selected elements. Three hours of lecture, one hour of recitation, and one three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: High School chemistry Meets general academic requirement S.
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of Chemistry 103. One Chemistry 104 lab section is reserved for a small number of students, enrolled by invitation. This group engages in project work designed as an introduction to methods of scientific research. Three hours of lecture, one hour of recitation, and one three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 103 General Chemistry I Meets general academic requirement S.
-
3.00 Credits
Designed for students majoring in biology and natural science. Structure, preparation, and properties of organic compounds with an emphasis on stereoisomerism, synthetic methods, and reaction mechanisms. Laboratory work involves an introduction to preparative and analytical techniques. Weekly recitations provide a setting for discussions and problem solving. Three hours of lecture, one hour of recitation, and one three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 104 General Chemistry II
-
3.00 Credits
A continuation of Chemistry 201. Three hours of lecture, one hour of recitation, and one three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 201 Organic Chemistry I
-
7.00 Credits
An investigation of the structure, properties, and reactivity of organic compounds. Topics emphasized include nomenclature, stereochemistry, spectroscopy, reaction mechanisms, and synthesis. Classroom and laboratory work are closely integrated. Laboratory work includes both collaborative efforts and individual investigations. Preparative and analytical techniques utilized in the synthesis of organic compounds are featured, as well as structure determination, molecular modeling, and investigation of reaction mechanisms. Handson use of a variety of instrumentation is emphasized. (A total of seven hours lecture, discussion, and laboratory per week.) Prerequisite: CHM 104 General Chemistry II Meets general academic requirement W when offered as 205.
-
4.00 Credits
A continuation of Chemistry 203 or 205. Prerequisite: CHM 203 or 205 Honors Organic Chemistry I Meets general academic requirement W when offered as 206.
-
3.00 Credits
Data analysis, chemical equilibria, classical methods of analysis, and electroanalytical chemistry are explored. Data analysis and statistics, including error propagation, confidence intervals, and analytical calibration methods, are examined. Acidbase, oxidationreduction, complex and multiple simultaneous equilibria are applied to analytical problems. Classical analytical methods, such as gravimetric and volumetric analysis, as well as electrochemical methods (ion selective electrodes, potentiometry, and voltammetry), are also discussed. Laboratory work involves the application of a variety of these methods to quantitative chemical analysis and experimental design and implementation. Three hours of lecture and one three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 202 Organic Chemistry II or CHM 204 or 206 Honors Organic Chemistry II
-
3.00 Credits
Theory, instrumentation, and applications of instrumental methods of analysis involving separations and interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter are discussed. Principles of analytical separation methods are explored, including gas, liquid and supercritical fluid chromatographies, and capillary electrophoresis and electrochromatography. Topics on atomic and molecular spectroscopy include atomic absorption, emission and fluorescence, ultravioletvisible, molecular fluorescence and phosphorescence, Fourier transform infrared, and mass spectrometry. In addition, techniques are reinforced through practical experience in a wellequipped instrumentation laboratory. Three hours of lecture and one three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 311 Analytical Chemistry I
-
3.00 Credits
The basic principles of quantum mechanics and their applications to problems of chemical interest are discussed. Topics include atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, and molecular spectroscopy. In addition, the fundamentals of chemical kinetics, reaction rate theories, and reaction mechanisms are investigated. Three hours of lecture and one three hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHM 202 Organic Chemistry II or CHM 204 or 206 Honors Organic Chemistry II and MTH 122 Calculus II
