A laboratory sequence illustrates theory. All required pretech courses. This course includes a study of the structure and reactions of organic compounds and a basic survey of biochemical reactions involving carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins and their metabolism. This course examines the properties and behavior of the principal types of hazardous materials, and their proper storage, handling, transportation and disposal. A survey of pertinent legislation and incident response techniques is presented.
Discussion is supplemented with laboratory demonstrations.
Laboratory experiments are used to illustrate theory. This course is a continuation of CHM 150. Laboratory experiments are used to illustrate theory. The course includes theoretical principles and methodology as well as laboratory work. Fundamentals of measurements are discussed including mass and energy balances, physical testing and physical properties of polymers.
