Classical and modern applications of these principles to the analysis of unknowns is performed in the laboratory. CHEM 326 Physical Chemistry II 4 credits The differing energy energy states of atoms and molecules, statistical principles governing the distribution of particles, and the transitions within these states are studied in detail. An introduction to transport processes, surface and interface problems and advanced topics in thermodynamics is included. Chromatography 2 credits This course is a survey of chromatographic theory and methods. Forensic and environmental problems are emphasized.
Students participate in one lecture and one laboratory session per week.
Microscopy 2 credits This course concentrates on the theory and uses of light microscopy to determine identity and composition of organic , inorganic, and biological materials. Forensic and environmental problems are emphasized. Students participate in one lecture and on laboratory session per week. This course is an introduction to the structural organization and chemical compositions of cells and to fundamental chemical processes carried on inside organelles. Included are enzymatic action, transport across biological membranes, and basic metabolic pathways as they relate to cell structure.
