This course is taught online via the Internet and is aimed at people who have no prior chemistry experience. Students gradually learn content and develop skills needed to succeed in a laboratory science and advance to the next level of the chemistry curriculum. A one-quarter survey of inorganic chemistry. Topics covered relate to the fields of cardiopulmonary technology and respiratory therapy. A rigorous course in general chemistry incorporating a theoretical orientation including the study of structure of matter, periodic properties, stoichiometry, solids, liquids, gases and chemical equilibrium.
Lab covers quantitative aspects of chemistry and necessary accuracy for such work.
Advanced General Chemistry 5-credit laboratory science Continuation of CHEM 142 including atomic and molecular theory, statistical thermodynamics, entropy and spontaneity. The lab covers analytical procedures including semimicroqualitative analysis for cations and anions and an introduction to instrumental analysis. A survey of inorganic chemistry for nursing and allied health sciences. Includes atomic structure, bonding periodicity, stoichiometry, gases, equilibrium, solution chemistry and nuclear chemistry. A brief survey of biochemical principles, including structures of biomolecules, enzymatic catalysis, thermodynamics, metabolic pathways, genetic expression and biotechnology.
