TOTAL CREDIT HOURS 31COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
The numbers following course titles indicate (1) hours of
lecture per week, (2) hours of laboratory per week, and
(3) semester credit hours. An asterisk following these three
figures indicates that the course carries variable or
alternative credit and that the figures represent the
maximum variation. In general, credit hours for these
courses may range from one to the number indicated.
Note that some courses are offered less than once a year.
Failure to complete these courses when they are offered
may delay graduation.
Courses Credited Toward Science Degrees
CHEM 131 General Chemistry Laboratory I (1-3-1), fall.
Emphasizes development of skills in the acquisition and interpretation of
quantitative data. Laboratory work includes use of significant figures,
precision, accuracy, stoichiometry, molecular geometry, gas laws,
periodicity, and chemical reactions. Prerequisite: CHEM 133 or
concurrent enrollment. Lab fee: $35
CHEM 132 General Chemistry Laboratory II (1-3-1), spring.
Introduces the use of spectrophotometers and pH meters in the study ofchemical equilibrium. Qualitative analysis of selected cations is used to
emphasize descriptive chemistry and principles of equilibrium.
Prerequisites: CHEM 133 and CHEM 134 or concurrent enrollment.
Lab fee: $35
CHEM 133 General Chemistry Lecture (3-0-3), fall. Covers the
underlying principles and basic concepts of chemistry with a quantitative
emphasis. Includes structure of matter, atomic theory, stoichiometry,
chemical bonds, states of matter, kinetic theory, solutions, and colloids.
Not credited without CHEM 131. ACT mathematics score of 24 or
completion of MATH 103 is highly recommended.
CHEM 134 General Chemistry Lecture (3-0-3), spring. Continues
with the development of chemical principles: acid-base reactions, redox
reactions, thermodynamics, kinetics, and equilibrium. Descriptive
chemistry of selected representative and transitional elements are
considered. Not credited without CHEM 132. Prerequisite: CHEM 133.
CHEM 221 Organic Chemistry Laboratory I (1-3-1), fall.
Emphasizes separation and synthesis: techniques of recrystallation,
distillation, solvent extraction, organic preparation, separation of
mixtures by gas vapor chromatography, and polarimetry. Prerequisite:
CHEM 223 or concurrent enrollment. Lab fee: $35
CHEM 322 Organic Chemistry Laboratory II (1-3-1), spring.
Follows with synthesis and analysis: organic synthesis and the systematic
identification of unknown organic compounds by using the classical
scheme of organic qualitative analysis and infrared and nuclear magnetic
resonance spectral analysis. Prerequisite: CHEM 324 or concurrent
enrollment. Lab fee: $35
CHEM 223 Organic Chemistry Lecture (3-0-3), fall. Presents the
structure, nomenclature, and properties of alkanes, alkyl halides,
organometallic compounds, alcohols, ethers, alkenes, and alkynes.
Includes chemical bonding, resonance, stereochemistry, spectroscopy,
and reaction mechanisms. Not credited without CHEM 324.
Prerequisite: CHEM 134.
CHEM 324 Organic Chemistry Lecture (3-0-3), spring. Continues
with the structure, nomenclature, and properties of benzene, substituted
benzenes, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, derivatives of carboxylic
acids, amines, carbohydrates, amino acids, proteins, and lipids. Indudes
enolates, carbanions, polycyclic, and heterocyclic aromatic compounds,
spectroscopy, and reaction mechanisms. Prerequisite: CHEM 223.
CHEM 323 Chemical Literature and Seminar (1-0-1), fall.
Introduces the student to primary sources, reference work, patents, and
manufacturer's literature. Also requires each student to carry out a
library research assignment in preparation for his scheduled report to the
seminar on a recent development in chemistry. Prerequisite: Junior or
Senior standing in chemistry.
CHEM 331 Physical Chemistry Laboratory I (1-4-1), fall. Uses a
variety of physical and chemical techniques to make measurements on
chemical systems. The lab is closely coordinated with the lecture portion
of the course (CHEM 333). Includes both laboratory and
computer-based experiments on topics such as properties of gases, heat
capacities, calorimetry, vapor pressures, and molar volumes of liquids,
ionic strength, solubility, chemical equilibrium, and others. Prerequisite:
CHEM 333 or concurrent enrollment. Lab fee: $35
CHEM 332 Physical Chemistry Laboratory II (1-4-1), spring. Uses
a variety of physical and chemical techniques to make measurements on
chemical systems. The lab is closely coordinated with the lecture portion
of the course (CHEM 334). Includes both laboratory and
computer-based experiments on topics in phase equilibria,
electrochemistry, kinetic theory of gases, transport processes, chemical
kinetics, quantum chemistry, and spectroscopy. Prerequisite: CHEM
334 or concurrent enrollment. Lab fee: $35
CHEM 333 Physical Chemistry Lecture I (3-0-3), fall. A study of
the laws of thermodynamics and their application to equilibria in both
ideal and nonideal systems. The topics include conservation of energy,
the concepts of heat and work, the concept of entropy, phase equilibria,
reaction equilibria, ideal and real gases, ideal and real solutions,
colligative properties, and properties of surfaces and interfaces.
Prerequisites: CHEM 324, MATH 186, and PHYS 112 or 122, or
consent of instructor. Math 286 is recommended but not required.
