CHEM
105 Chemistry and Modern Society
with Lab
A conceptual and qualitative approach to chemistry,
its evolution, achievements, and goals and its impact on technology,
the environment, and modern life and thought. (Specifically designed
for non-science majors.) |
CHEM
107 Forensic
Chemistry with Lab
This 4 credit
hour course surveys the chemical aspects of criminal investigation
and adjudication including drug, arson, DNA, paint, and
fiber identification. Three lecture and three laboratory
hours per week. (For non-science majors)
|
CHEM
111L General
Chemistry I Lab
The laboratory that accompanies
Chem 111 lecture. This course is a survey of the principles
that underlie all chemistry with applications illustrating
these principles
|
CHEM
112L General
Chemistry II & Qualitative Analysis Lab
The laboratory that
accompanies Chem 112 lecture. This course is a continuation of
CHEM 111. Special emphasis is placed on chemical equilibrium,
kinetics, and qualitative inorganic analysis of cations and anions. |
CHEM
321 Quantitative Analysis Lecture
This three credit hour
course covers gravimetric, volumetric, and introductory instrumental
analysis. It meets for three lecture hours per week. |
CHEM
321L Quantitative Analysis Lab
This one credit hour laboratory
course accompanies the Chem321 lecture, but the grading and
credits are independent. It meets for three laboratory hours
per week.
|
CHEM
331L Essentials
of Organic Chemistry Lab
This one credit hour laboratory course
accompanies the Chem 334 lecture, but the grading and credits
are independent. This course involves laboratory safety, syntheses,
separation, and purification of carbon compounds, and is designed
for non-chemistry majors. |
CHEM
332L Essentials
of Organic Chemistry Lab II
This
one credit hour laboratory course accompanies the Chem 334 lecture,
but the grading and credits are independent. This course is a continuation
of CHEM 331L (see above). It involves the spectroscopic and wet chemical
identification of carbon compounds and is designed for
non-chemistry majors. |
CHEM
333L Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Laboratory I
For Chemistry Majors Only. This two credit hour lab accompanies
the Chem 333 Lecture, but the grading and credits are independent.
It covers laboratory safety, synthesis, separation, and purification
of carbon compounds. This course is designed for Chemistry majors
and meets for six laboratory hours per week.
|
CHEM
334L Comprehensive Organic Chemistry Laboratory II
For Chemistry Majors Only. This two credit hour lab accompanies the Chem 334
lecture, but the grading and credits are independent. It is a continuation of
CHEM 333L (see above). It involves the synthesis, spectroscopic, and wet chemical
identification of carbon compounds. This course is designed for Chemistry majors
and meets for six laboratory hours per week. |
