Designed for science and pre-engineering majors. Fundamental physicochemical principles and quantitative relationships including the mole concept, periodic properties of the elements, atomic structure, chemical bonding, and thermochemistry. Laboratory emphasizes quantitative analysis. A continuation of Chem 201. Includes a study of solutions, acids and bases, equilibria, electrochemistry, and chemistry of the main group elements and the transition elements.
Laboratory emphasizes qualitative analysis, quantitative measurements, and syntheses.
221 Elementary Biochemistry. An elementary course intended to teach the structure, properties, function, and metabolism of biological molecules with emphasis on macromolecules. Intended for biology and family and consumer sciences majors. A study of nomenclature, preparations, reactions, and reaction mechanisms of the functional groups of aliphatic and aromatic compounds. Laboratory includes synthetic methods, mechanistic studies, chromatography, and an introduction to qualitative analysis.
