CHM 173 General Chemistry I FA 4 s.h.
CHM 174 General Chemistry II SP 4 s.h.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to fundamental chemical principles. Topics include scientific notation, dimensional analysis, thermo chemistry, atomic theory, periodicity, bonding, states of matter, solutions, electrochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, nuclear chemistry, and a brief introduction to organic chemistry. Prerequisites: High School Algebra, MAT 147 or permission of Instructor. Hours of class per week: 3. Hours of lab per week: 3. CHM 173-General Education: N
CHM 221 Organic Chemistry I FA 4 s.h.
CHM 222 Organic Chemistry II SP 4 s.h.
An integrated course examining the structure, synthesis and reactions of aliphatic and aromatic organic compounds and stressing the underlying principles of reaction mechanisms, kinetics, stereochemistry and detection techniques. The second half of the course (CHM 222) is a continuation of the first half and includes the study of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids. The laboratory is designed to familiarize the student with basic techniques of organic chemistry including extractions, crystallization, distillation and chromatography, and the application of these techniques to qualitative analysis and synthesis. Prerequisites: CHM 173 and CHM 174. Hours of class per week: 3. Hours of lab per week: 3
