3.00 Credits
(required for science majors) Continuation of CHEM 103 Chemistry I. that provides an introduction to chemical bonding and molecular geometry, property of gases, intermolecular attractions, solutions, kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acids, bases and thermodynamics. Corequisite: CHEM-104L Prerequisites: CHEM-103 and CHEM-103L
-
1.00 Credits
(required for science majors) This hands-on laboratory-based course highlights concepts covered in Chemistry II Lecture. Analytical and data interpretation/ presentation skills are honed through a series of experiments including aspirin synthesis and determination of vitamin C content. Corequisite: CHEM-104L Prerequisites: CHEM-103 and CHEM-103L
-
3.00 Credits
This course is a one-semester overview of organic chemistry and biochemistry for PA majors and open to those who meet the prerequisites. After introduction to different functional groups, the course provides a systematic study of the biologically important compounds, including amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, enzymes, carbohydrates and lipids. Emphasis will be placed upon the structure, properties and functions of these compounds. The course will culminate in an overarching discussion of the intricacies of metabolism of some of these biomolecules. Prerequisites: CHEM-104 and CHEM 104L, grade of "C-"(1.67) or better in BIOL-104 and BIOL-104L
-
4.00 Credits
Fundamental topics in thermodynamics are covered, emphasizing the first three laws of thermodynamics. Applications of these principles and chemical equilibrium to ideal gases, real gases, solutions and solids are discussed. Chemical kinetics is covered in detail. A brief examination of the field of chemical dynamics is included. Where appropriate, current research in these areas will be discussed. The laboratory will emphasize using chemistry techniques such as FTIR, UV-Vis, GC and computational programs to examine fundamental physical processes. Prerequisites: CHEM-202 and CHEM 202L, PHYS-203 and PHYS- 203L, and pre or corequisite MATH-213
-
4.00 Credits
Quantum mechanics is the fundamental theory underlying the description of atoms. It details how atoms can interact on the microscopic level. Quantum mechanics will be used to understand the observed spectroscopic properties of atoms and molecules. Statistical mechanics, which connects the macroscopic world of thermodynamics and kinetics with quantum mechanics, will also be covered. The laboratory is a continuation of CHEM-305 with an emphasis on spectroscopy. Prerequisite: CHEM-305
-
4.00 Credits
An advanced course in modern inorganic chemistry that covers structure and bonding, symmetry, thermodynamics and mechanisms; along with a systematic discussion of reactions and properties of representative main group and transition metal elements. This course will also illustrate some of the relationships between inorganic chemistry and other areas of chemistry, including biochemistry. The laboratory covers a variety of synthetic techniques and physical and analytical methodologies that are particularly applicable to inorganic compounds. Prerequisite: CHEM-306
-
4.00 Credits
(writing intensive) This course provides an overview of the variety of analytical and instrumental methods for quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis. Topics include gravimetric and volumetric analysis; ultraviolet, infrared, and visible spectroscopy; gas and liquid chromatography; and mass spectrometry. Laboratory sessions hone students' analytical- and criticalthinking skills. Students are required to work on a group research project and present their findings at a local/regional scientific conference. Prerequisite: CHEM-202 and CHEM 202L
-
3.00 Credits
A study of a specialized topic and/or recent developments in one of the fields of chemistry. Sample topics might include theoretical organic chemistry, spectroscopy, photochemistry, stereo-chemistry and computational chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM-202 and CHEM 202L
-
3.00 Credits
Students interested in pursuing independent research in any field of chemistry or biochemistry under faculty supervision must submit a proposal to the dean of the School of Science and Health for approval at least two weeks before pre-registration. The research will include both literature search and experimental work in any current field of chemistry or biochemistry. At the end of the semester, students will be expected to do an oral presentation to the faculty during reading days and prepare a comprehensive written report as mandated by the American Chemical Society. Prerequisite: permission of School dean
-
3.00 Credits
Continuation of CHEM-391 CHEM-405 (Formerly C171) (3-0-3) Advanced Organic Chemistry (writing intensive) An in-depth study of the factors that affect organic reactions such as solvent, energy, kinetic and steric factors. These are used to examine a variety of reaction mechanisms such as nucleophilic substitution, elimination, aromatic substitution and rearrangement reactions. Prerequisite: CHEM-202 and CHEM 202L
