A "T" located to the right of the following course descriptions indicates transfer to Murray State University, Southeast Missouri State University, and Southern Illinois University-Carbondale as per articulation agreements.
These courses will also transfer to most public four-year institutions in the state of Illinois.
CHE 114 INORGANIC CHEMISTRY T
This course is designed for persons interested in any of the sciences including engineering, pre-medical and pre-dental majors. Emphasis is on quantitative measurement of chemical composition, the structure of matter, the relationship between the periodic table and properties of elements and the nature of chemical bonds. Laboratory experiments are designed to give the student experience in handling many of the analytical tools used in industry today.
Credit: 5 hours - Three lecture and four lab hours per week.
Prerequisite: Physical Science Chemistry-PHS 111 or high school chemistry and two units of high school algebra or Intermediate Algebra-MAT 114
CHE 115 INORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS T
Topics of the course include kinetics, equilibrium, solubilities, thermodynamics, organic and biochemistry. Laboratory is qualitative analysis of the analytical groups.
Credit: 5 hours - Three lecture and four lab hours per week.
Prerequisite: Inorganic Chemistry-CHE 114 or consent of instructor.
CHE 211 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I T
Preparation and chemical properties of alipathic and aromatic compounds. Emphasis on the nature of the covalent bond and reaction of functional groups. Topics of the course include kinetics, equilibrium, solubilities, thermodynamics, chemistry and biochemistry.
Credit: 4 hours - Three lecture and two lab hours per week.
Prerequisite: Inorganic Chemistry-CHE 114
CHE 212 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II T
The study of the functional groups that characterize the various families of organic compounds. Emphasis is placed on the mechanisms of chemical reactions and on the development of synthetic pathways for the formation of organic compounds commonly found in industry and medicine today.
Credit: 4 hours - Three lecture and two lab hours per week.
Prerequisite: Organic Chemistry- CHE 211 or equivalent
CHE 216 QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS T
Methods of quantitative analysis of chemical compounds. Includes volumetric and gravimetric analysis and instrumental methods of analysis.
Credit: 4 hours - Two lecture and four lab hours per week. (offered only when there is sufficient demand)
Prerequisite: Inorganic Chemistry-CHE 114 and College Algebra-MAT 116 or equivalent courses.
