Chemical and ionic equilibria, acidbase theory of aqueous solutions and selected principles of electrochemistry and spectrophotometry. Students learn to standardize measuring devices, complete several gravimetric and volumetric experiments, and complete at least one quantitative electrochemical or spectrophotometric experiment. Sp 1-5 Credits Supervised work experience in an approved job. Completion of specific learning objectives and employer evaluation. The first of a 3- quarter sequence designed for students seeking a career in science or medicine.
Chemistry is aliphatic and alicyclic compounds is covered emphasizing a mechanistic approach.
Specific topics covered include molecular orbitals, hybridization, resonance, acids and bases, nomenclature, stereochemistry, structure and reactivity, substitution, addition, elimination and rearrangement, reactions, properties and synthesis of alkanes, alkenes and alkynes, and spectroscopic methods of structural analysis. The second of a 3- quarter sequence designed for students seeking a career in science or medicine. Mechanistic approach applied to synthesis and reactions of free radicals, alcohols, ethers, organometallic compounds, conjugated unsaturated systems, aromatic compounds and aldehydes and keytones. The last of a 3- quarter sequence designed for students seeking a career in science or medicine. Mechanistic approach applied to synthesis and reactions of carboxylic acids and their derivatives, betadicarbonyl compounds, amines, phenols, and aryl halides.
