Prerequisite Chemistry 4 or one year of high school chemistry coupled with satisfactory performance on a placement test. Chuck Lutz and staff 22 Environmental Chemistry Chemistry of the environment and the chemical principles of environmental problems. Topics to be discussed include water contamination, air pollution, ozone depletion, food toxicity, and radioactivity. Spring Prerequisite Chemistry 4 or Chemistry 17. Study of the chemistry of carbon compounds, especially the relationship between molecular structure and chemical and physical properties.
Emphasis is placed on stereochemistry, reaction mechanisms, and methods of instrumental analysis.
Laboratory work illustrates the principles discussed in the lecture course and provides practical experience in the preparation, purification, and analysis of organic chemicals. The use of modern instrumentation is stressed. Lecture and laboratory. Fall and Spring Prerequisite Chemistry 17.
