Chemistry (CHEM)
This is an introductory course for those students who have little or no background in chemistry as well as for those students whose program requires a minimum of hours in a laboratory science. This is a general survey course dealing primarily with fundamental principles of chemistry including measurements, atomic structure, nomenclature, balancing equations, stoichiometry, bonding, gases, thermodynamics, acids and bases. *4 credit hours/5 billed contact hours*
This is an introductory laboratory college chemistry course emphasizing mathematical relationships in chemistry. Contents include measurements, atomic theory, nomenclature, soichiometry, chemical reactions, gases, thermodynamics and bonding. *4 credit hours/6 billed contact hours*
This is a continuation of CHEM-133. Topics covered include theories of covalent bonding, phase changes and intermolecular forces, properties of mixtures, organic compounds, kinetics, equilibrium, acid/base equalibria, equilibrium in aqueous systems and thermodynamics. *4 credit hours/6 billed contact hours*
This is a general organic chemistry course covering nomenclature, physical properities, and reactions involving alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, cyclics, alkyl halides and dienes. Analysis will include an introduction to IR, NMR, and chromatogrpahy. *4 credit hours/6 billed contact hours*
This is the second semester organic chemistry course covering the physical properties, analysis, preparation, reactions, and associated mechanisms involving alcohols, ethers, epoxides, aromatic compounds, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, and amines. *4 credit hours/6 billed contact hours*
