CHM-151L
Principles of Chemistry I
Application of the principles of stoichiometry, gas laws and solution
chemistry to the synthesis, separation and identification of compounds. 3
laboratory hours per week. Offered in the fall semester.
CHM-151R
Principles of Chemistry I
CHM-152
Principles of Chemistry II
Condensed states of matter, properties of solutions, chemical kinetics,
electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry. 3 lecture hours and 1 recitation
hour per week. Offered in the spring semester.
CHM-152L
Principles of Chemistry II
Laboratory investigations of properties of solutions, chemical kinetics and
chemical equilibrium emphasizing techniques of quantitative analysis,
including both traditional gravimetric and volumetric methods and
instrumental methods of spectrophotometry and chromatography. 3
laboratory hours per week. Offered in the spring semester.
CHM-152R
Principles of Chemistry II
CHM-203
Organic Chemistry I
An introduction to the molecular structure and reactivity of carbon-based
compounds. Emphasis is given to the relationships between molecular
structure and chemical and physical properties. Topics include theories of
chemical bonding, isomerism and stereochemistry, IR and NMR
spectroscopy, and the mechanisms of fundamental reactions( i. e.,
substitution, elimination, addition). 3 lecture hours and 1 recitation hour per
week. Offered in the fall semester.
CHM-203L
Organic Chemistry I
A techniques-focused course to develop skill with common organic chemistry
lab techniques including separations, purifications, and the use of
spectroscopic and analytical equipment( e. g., IR, GC, HPLC) to characterize
substances. Experiments demonstrate theoretical principles from CHM 203.
3 laboratory hours per week. Offered in the fall semester.
CHM-203R
Organic Chemistry I
CHM-204
Organic Chemistry II
Continuation of CHM 203. Topics include aromaticity, organometallics,
oxidation and reduction, and carbonyl chemistry. Connections to biology are
emphasized, where appropriate. 3 lecture hours and 1 recitation hour per
week. Offered in the spring semester.
CHM-204L
Organic Chemistry II
Continuation of CHM 203L. Experiments illustrate multistep organic
synthesis and demonstrate theoretical concepts from CHM 204.
