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.
