Naval applications of chemistry are introducedthroughout the courses to provide an awareness of chemistry in normal Navyoperations. The course structure is similar to that of SC111-112, but the laboratory portion of the course involves some investigative experimentswhich are similar to research projects. This sequence is designed for thestudent with some previous background in chemistry and a strong interestin the subject. Students entering this course must have demonstrated their understandingof fundamental chemical concepts by a strong performance on the chemistryvalidation exam. The second semester laboratory includes qualitative organic analysis.
Special attention is given to areas of petroleum, plastics, drugs and spectroscopy.
An introduction to the physical properties of matter, with emphasis on the thermodynamic aspects of physical chemical processes. An introduction to the physical properties of matter, with emphasis on the quantam theory of atomic andmolecular structure, including spectroscopy. The theory andapplications of modern instrumental methods of analysis are stressed. Awide array of sophisticated instruments is available for student use. The chemistry of the MainGroup elements is used to establish the conceptual framework of inorganicchemistry.
