Course Descriptions Preparatory College Chemistry (CHEM 05100) This course familiarizes students
with elementary concepts of chemistry and relevant math skills.
The students will learn fundamental chemical principles which will
enable them to succeed in Chemistry I, a first course in college chemistry.
Selected topics of this course include: Standards and Measurement,
Classification and Properties of Matter, Nomenclature of Inorganic
Compounds, Quantitative Composition of Compounds, Chemical Equations,
Atomic Theory and Periodic Classification of Elements. There are no
prerequisites for this course.
Chemistry I (CHEM 06100) This course presents the basic
principles involved in the study of chemistry. It emphasizes
modern theories and laws used in understanding the structures and
reactions of the elements and compounds, and also includes gas laws,
stoichiometry, and solution theory.
Chemistry II (CHEM 06101) This course is a continuation of
Chemistry I. It covers these topics: equilibria
(including acids and bases, complexes, and sparingly soluble
compounds), thermodynamics, kinetics, electrochemistry, and solution
theory. Descriptive inorganic chemistry is also covered.
Advanced College Chemistry I (CHEM 06105) This course is designed for the
engineering student and other well-prepared science majors. The
course deals with the atomic and macroscopic world, covering such topics as
states of matter, solutions, thermodynamics, gas phase equilibria, and
solution equilibria of weak acids, bases, and buffers.
Quantitative Analysis (CHEM 09250)This course provides lecture and
laboratory experience in classical methods of gravimetric and
volumetric analyses, as well as electrical and spectroscopic analyses.
Instrumental Methods (CHEM 09410) This course covers the use of
instrumental methods in the solution of chemical problems. It
stresses both theoretical and practical aspects of obtaining and
interpreting data. Among the instruments considered are visible,
IR, UV, NMR, AA, ICP, Raman and Mass Spectrometers as well as
electrical and chromatographic techniques.
