Laboratory experiments explore concepts introduced in lecture. Completion of CHEM 1 with grade of C or better. A survey of some principles of chemistry, stressing concepts and qualitative understanding rather than problem solving or technical skills. Application of a core of concepts to chemical aspects of current social, political, or economic situations. An optional laboratory experience to accompany CHEM 6.
Experiments illustrate how fundamental and practical chemical information is obtained.
Properties of sub- stances are observed and experiments are performed to foster appreciation of the impact of chemistry in a technological society. The principles and applications of volumetric, spectrometric and electrometric measurement in the determination of quantities of organic, biological and inorganic chemicals. CHEM 2 with grade of C or better. An integrated study of the concepts of organic chemistry including nomenclature, properties and reactions, with special attention to applications to energy, environment, commerce and health. This is a terminal course and is not intended for pre-profesional students or majors.
