Second course includes metals, condensed phases, intermolecular forces, acid-base equilibria, electrochemistry, organic chemistry, chemical kinetics, and selected topics. Introduction to gravimetric, volumetric and instruments techniques, data analysis, and experimental design. A course designed for students with little or no science background which examines the role of science, chemistry in particular, in society. Topics include energy sources, consumer chemistry, nutrition, and drugs. The laboratory work involves individual or group projects, experiments, demonstrations, or seminars.
All work is designed to accompany the lecture.
A study of the chemistry of organic compounds. These studies are based on molecular structure, the properties due to functional groups, and the mechanisms by which reactions occur. The laboratory work in this course is designed to allow students to cooperatively discover fundamental concepts of the science while introducing the common laboratory techniques of organic chemistry. The course emphasizes the use of modern and analytical instrumentation including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, Infrared Spectrophotomatry, Gas Chromatography, and Mass Spectroscopy. A study of the theory of analytical separations and the principles and methods of quantitative chemical analysis, with emphasis on the application of equilibrium theory to analytical problems.
