Communication skills are developed through written laboratory reports and the proper use of a laboratory notebook. One laboratory or lecture session will be held per week. This is a continuation of CHEM 113 . Laboratory projects may include investigations of the properties of acid-base buffers, the investigation of the kinetics of the hydrolysis of a simple drug, chromatographic separation of amino acids, and the synthesis of several polymers. The lecture component includes the fundamentals of acid-base chemistry, simple chemical kinetics, and thermochemistry.
Emphasis is placed on the use of computers for data analysis and reporting.
Communication skills are developed through written laboratory reports. One laboratory or lecture session will be held per week. CHEM 112 or its equivalent. A Course Syllabus is available. The lecture portion presents material necessary to an understanding of the instrumentation and chemistry utilized in the laboratory work.
