Laboratory work consists of classical separations, qualitative organic analysis, and use of spectral techniques to identify organic unknowns. Use of the chemical literature, including complete literature searches to aid in syntheses and subsequent reports, is emphasized. The class meets one evening per week at Argonne National Laboratory. 2 hours 324 Individual Research Must be arranged with a member of the chemistry department prior to registration. A study of gas laws, chemical and physical equilibria, thermodynamics, and kinetic molecular theory.
Students participate in a four-hour lab period each week.
4 hours 332 Environmental Chemistry Principles and analysis of chemical movement and distribution in natural environments. Sampling and analytical methods are included for water, soil, and air. Students work both on site in natural habitats and in the laboratory. This course is offered through Trinity's affiliation with AuSable Institute of Environmental Studies at Mancelona, Michigan. See description of the program under the Biology listings.
