CHE 114                       INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

T          P1 902L/                     Fall

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 - Four lecture and two lab hours per week.

Prerequisite(s):  Inorganic, Organic & Biochemistry I-PHS 111 and Intermediate Algebra-MAT 114 or satisfactory high school equivalences for both

 

CHE 115           INORGANIC CHEMISTRY AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS

                        T                                  Spring

Topics of the course include kinetics, equilibrium, solubilities, thermodynamics, organic and biochemistry.  The student will be introduced to techniques of solving concentrations of various types of solutions in equilibrium.  Laboratory is qualitative analysis of the analytical groups.

Credit:  5 hours - Four lecture and two lab hours per week.

Prerequisite(s):  Inorganic Chemistry-CHE 114 and College Algebra-MAT 116 or consent of instructor.

 

CHE 211                       ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I

T                                  By Request-Fall

Preparation and chemical properties of alipathic and aromatic compounds with emphasis on the nature of the covalent bond and reaction of functional groups.  Topics studied include structural theory, mechanisms of reactions, and methods of formation of several of the functional groups.

Credit:  3 hours - Three lecture hours per week.

Prerequisite(s):  Inorganic Chemistry-CHE 114

 

CHE 212                       ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II

T                                  By Request-Spring

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:  3 hours - Three lecture hours per week.

Prerequisite(s):  Organic Chemistry- CHE 211 or equivalent

 

CHE 213                       ORGANIC LABORATORY I

T                                  By Request-Fall

This course provides the student with practice in the separation and identification of organic chemicals from many of the functional group families.  Separation by distillation, crystallization, and various types of chromatography will be done in the laboratory.  The student will be expected to keep a record of activities in the lab and to report on analyses made.  Some time will be devoted to discussion of the procedures and separations done in lab.

Credit:  2 hours - Four lab hours per week.

Prerequisite(s):  Inorganic Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis-CHE 115 or equivalent (Organic Chemistry I-CHE 211 must be taken concurrently)

 

CHE 214                       ORGANIC LABORATORY II

T                                  By Request-Spring

This course provides the student with practice in the synthesis and identification of organic chemicals from many of the functional group families.  Many compounds of classical and medical importance will be prepared and purified.  Analysis of the products will be made to determine identity and purity.  The student will be expected to keep a record of activities in the lab and to report on analyses made.  Some time will be devoted to discussion of the procedures, syntheses, and separations done in lab.

Credit:  2 hours - Four lab hours per week.

Prerequisite(s):  Inorganic Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis-CHE 115 or equivalent (Organic Chemistry II-CHE 212 must be taken concurrently)
