This course correlates with CHEM 140 by giving students hands-on experience with many of the laboratory techniques used to analyze the compounds discussed in CHEM 140. This course covers the atomic theory, chemical bonding, the states of matter, thermochemistry and stoichiometry. Laboratory experiments correlate with lecture material. A continuation of CHEM 151, with emphasis on equilibrium, kinetics, solutions, chemical reactions and thermodynamics. A course covering structure and reactivity of alkanes, alkenes and alkyl halides with an emphasis on mechanisms and stereochemistry.
Laboratory correlates with lecture material and emphasizes methods of qualitative organic analysis.
This course teaches the application of solubility, neutralization, oxidation-reduction and complexation theories to quantitative determinations. The application of chromatography and spectrophotometry to quantitative determinations is also investigated. The laboratory emphasizes gravimetric, volumetric, chromatographic and spectrophotometric methods of analysis. Laboratory involves synthetic projects of varying length. This course covers the structure and function of major biomolecules and concentrates on their involvement in metabolism.
