Chemistry

This course is designed for the student only needing one semester of chemistry.  Students majoring in a natural science, engineering, or planning on medical school should take CH1505 instead. This course includes: chemical symbols and formulas, atomic theory, equation writing and balancing, chemical nomenclature, calculations involving chemical formula, heats of reactions, the chemistry of solutions; acids, bases, and salts, and an introduction to organic chemistry, physical chemistry, analytical and biochemistry. Restrictions: Not open to chemistry majors. 

 

This is the first part of a two-semester chemistry program designed to provide the foundation for more advanced work. This course includes atomic structure, calculations with formulas, total ionic and net ionic equations, atomic and molecular structure, stoichiometry calculations, concentration calculations, thermochemistry, valence shell hybridization, volumetric solution calculations, oxidation-reduction reactions, gaseous state calculations, colloids, basic chemical equilibrium, and acid-base chemistry. For each unit of credit, a minimum of three hours per week with one of the hours for class and two hours for studying/preparation outside of class is expected. EduKan course number: CH177

This is a continuation of General Chemistry I. Contents include states of matter, solution chemistry, rates of reactions, chemical equilibrium, acid-base chemistry, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, organic chemistry, and nuclear chemistry. Laboratory stress is on identification of anions and cations with some quantitative experiments. Analysis uses both wet procedures and some instrumentation. For each unit of credit, a minimum of three hours per week with one of the hours for class and two hours for studying/preparation outside of class is expected. EduKan course number: CH178

First semester of a two-semester course designed to meet the requirements of students needing either General Organic Chemistry or Organic Chemistry I. Course content will include a study of the basic principles of nomenclature, and the reactions pertaining to aliphatic and arene compounds, study of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.

Second semester of organic chemistry, with three hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory. A continuation of Chemistry CH 2605. A detail study of alcohols reactions, Infrared spectroscopy, mass spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonances, ethers and epoxides reactions, ultraviolet spectroscopy, Aromatic compounds and their reactions.
