-
3.00 Credits
The fundamental principles and concepts of equilibrium thermodynamics including entropy, energy, temperature, heat, work, and chemical potential. Applications include chemical reactions, phase changes, environmental science, and biochemical systems. Lab experiments provide opportunities for quantitative experimental investigation of thermodynamic systems, including studies of heat exchange, chemical equilibrium, and phase equilibrium. Three hours of lecture-discussion and four hours of lab a week. Prerequisites: CH222 or 303, MA113, PY208. J. Halstead
-
3.00 Credits
The fundamental principles of kinetic theory, reaction kinetics, statistical thermodynamics, chemical application of quantum mechanics, bonding, molecular spectroscopy, and structure. Lab and computer based experiments provide an opportunity for quantitative experimental investigation of phenomena such as reaction rates, transport properties, bonding, and spectroscopy. Three hours of lecture-discussion, four hours of lab a week. Prerequisite: CH330 or 332 or permission of the department. J. Halstead
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the organic, physical, and biological chemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and enzymes. Structure-function relationships are explored at the molecular level using structural geometry and chemical reactivity concepts. Prerequisite: CH222. Three hours of lecture-discussion a week. M. Frey, R. Nagarajan
-
5.00 Credits
A study of the organic, physical, and biological chemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and enzymes. Structure-function relationships are explored at the molecular level using structural geometry and chemical reactivity concepts. The lab includes modern techniques for the purification, characterization,and identification of biomolecules. Prerequisite: CH222. Three hours of lecture-discussion and four hours of lab a week. M. Frey, R. Nagarajan
-
3.00 Credits
Intermediary metabolism, bioenergetics, and the nature of enzyme-catalyzed reactions are discussed. Prerequisite: CH340 or 341. Three hours of lecture-discussion a week. M. Frey, R. Nagarajan
-
3.00 Credits
Advanced topics in chemistry will be offered to either small groups of students or on an individual basis, allowing the student to study in depth areas of the science that are not covered in the regular course offerings. Prerequisite: CH222 and permission of the department.
-
3.00 Credits
An advanced study of selected global, national, and local topics in environmental chemistry. Possible topics include stratospheric ozone cycle, global climate changes, tropospheric smog, acid deposition, nutrient cycling, alkalinity, eutrophication, water treatment, and hazardous wastes. Prerequisite: CH221. Three hours of lecture-discussion per week.
-
2.00 Credits
A course designed to introduce students to techniques of laboratory instruction and management. Students will participate in teaching laboratory sessions of first- and second-year chemistry courses and will receive training in preparation and delivery of pre-lab lectures, interaction with students in a supervisory role, safety issues in laboratory management, and assessment of experimental and written works by students. Open to seniors majoring in chemistry or chemistry with biochemistry concentration. Prerequisite: Permission of the department. The Department
-
3.00 Credits
An elective course offered to upper level students who are interested in pursuing chemical research. Students work in collaboration with their faculty mentors to learn advanced techniques and protocols specific to their research fields. Students develop a research project in collaboration with a faculty mentor. Students who intend to seek advanced degrees are particularly encouraged to take this course. CH371 and 372 are required for consideration for Honors in Chemistry. Prerequisite: Permission of the department.
-
3.00 Credits
Students prepare an in-depth written report on a current topic in chemistry or biochemistry. The chemical literature is investigated by both traditional methods and modern computer-based techniques. Individual and group conferences throughout the semester, as well as oral presentations are required. Prerequisite: Permission of the department.
