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
CIIEM 132 General Chemistry Laboratory II (1-3-1), spring. Introduces
the use of spectrophotometers and pH meters in the study of
chemical 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
CIHEM 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 ben
