| CHM 1030C – General Chemistry/Lab | Credit 4 |
|---|
| A general chemistry course for allied science students and general students seeking credits in science (not intended for science or engineering majors). This course may be taken as a non-credit prerequisite for CHM 1045C by science or engineering students with little or no science background or with weaker test scores. Topics dealing with general chemistry include: scientific units, properties and states of matter, energy, electronic structures of atoms, Lewis-dot structures, ionic and covalent bonding, nomenclature, isotopes, Periodic Law and Table, chemical equations, electronegativity, stoichiometry, oxidation-reduction equations, kinetic molecular theory, gas laws, crystals, solutions, polarity, hydrogen bonding, colligative properties of solutions, kinetics, activation energy, catalysts, reversible reactions, equilibrium constant, LeChatelier’s principle, acids and bases, pH and buffers, titration curves, and nuclear chemistry. Fee: refer to catalog section Fees and Financial Aid. |
| CHM 1031C – General Chemistry/Lab | Credit 4 |
|---|
| Prerequisite: CHM 1030C |
| This is a continuation of CHM 1030C and is normally taken in sequence with major topics in organic chemistry and biochemistry. Major topics dealing with organic chemistry include the nomenclature, structure and properties of hydrocarbons and their derivatives (alcohols, phenols, ethers, esters, aldehydes, ketones, amides, amines, and carboxylic acids). Major topics in biochemistry include the carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids and proteins, enzymes, vitamins and hormones along with the pathways of metabolism, nucleic acids, and blood and urine composition. These courses (CHM 1030C &1031C) should be taken in sequence and therefore a passing grade in 1030C is prerequisite to enrollment in 1031C. Fee: refer to catalog section Fees and Financial Aid. |
| CHM 1045C–1046C – General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis/Lab | Credit 4–4 |
|---|
| Prerequisite: One year of high school chemistry or grade “C” or better in CHM 1030C or special approval of the instructor. Co-requisite: MAC 1105 or higher. |
| This is a general chemistry and qualitative analysis course intended for science and engineering majors. Major topics include: scientific units, properties of matter, energy, atom chemical stoichiometry, states of matter, electronic structures of atoms, Lewis dot structures, covalent and ionic bonding, theories of bonding, nomenclature principles, isotopes, oxidation and reduction, electronegativity, kinetic molecular theory, gas laws, types of crystals, solutions, dipolar molecules, hydrogen bonding, colligative properties of solutions, dialysis, reaction kinetics, free energy of activation, catalysts, reversible reactions, equilibrium constants, LeChalelier’s principle, acids and bases, pH, pK, buffers, pH titration curves, Ksp, polyprotic acids and bases, systematic study of chemical families of periodic law and table, chemistry of metals, complex ions, nuclear chemistry and qualitative analytical chemistry. Laboratory experiments in the second semester in qualitative analysis. These courses should be taken in sequence and therefore a passing grade in CHM 1045C is prerequisite to enrollment in CHM 1046C. Fee: refer to catalog section Fees and Financial Aid. |
| CHM 2210C–2211C – Organic Chemistry/Lab | Credit 4–4 |
|---|
| Prerequisites: CHM 1045C–1046C |
| A general course covering the chemistry of organic compounds intended for science majors, pre-medical, pre-pharmacy, pre-dental, and pre-engineering students. The first semester covers structures, properties, preparations, reactions and reaction mechanism of alkanes, alkenes, alkyl halides, alcohols, ethers, alkenes and cyclic aliphatic compounds. Emphasis is placed on stereoisomerism, stereoselective and stereospecific reactions, aliphatic substitution reactions and addition reactions, the role of the solvent, and conjugation. The second semester covers aromaticity, electrophilic aromatic substitutions, spectroscopy, and the structures, properties, preparations, reactions and reaction mechanisms of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid derivatives, carbanions, amines, phenols. Also introduced are the structures and reactions of lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids. Laboratory experiments emphasize the techniques of organic synthesis and analysis. There courses should be taken in sequence and therefore a passing grade in CHM 2210C is prerequisite to enrollment in CHM 2211C. Fee: refer to catalog section Fees and Financial Aid. |
