A one semester survey course in medical chemistry. The course is designed to provide an introduction to basic chemical concepts with an emphasis on the chemical elements from which life is formed. Selected topics from organic and inorganic chemistry are discussed with particular reference to their biological context. Does not count toward a major in chemistry. The basic methodologies of quantitative analysis with emphasis on chemical equilibrium, the theories of volumetric and gravimetric analysis and electrochemistry.
Some basic instrumentation is covered in the laboratory.
CHM 3064, 3074. The chemistry of the carbon compounds and their derivatives. CHM 4091, 5091. Physical Chemistry Laboratory I. Quantitative experiments involving physical chemistry principles in such areas as kinetics, molecular structure, and spectroscopy. Corequisite CHM 4113.
