Archived Fall 2018 Credit Classes for Bare, Simona

CHEM 1411
(4 Credit Hours)

Prerequisite Required: MATH 1314 or equivalent academic preparation. College level ready in Reading.

Course Description: Fundamental principles of chemistry for majors in the sciences, health sciences, and engineering; topics include measurements, fundamental properties of matter, states of matter, chemical reactions, chemical stoichiometry, periodicity of elemental properties, atomic structure, chemical bonding, molecular structure, solutions, properties of gases, and an introduction to thermodynamics and descriptive chemistry. Basic laboratory experiments will reinforce theoretical principles of general chemistry, introduction of the scientific method, experimental design, data collection and analysis, and preparation of laboratoryreports. High school chemistry, CHEM 1405 or the equivalent are strongly recommended. (3 Lec., 3 Lab.)

CHEM 1412
(4 Credit Hours)

Prerequisite Required: CHEM 1411 with a minimum grade of "C."

Course Description: Chemical equilibrium; phase diagrams and spectrometry; acid-base concepts; thermodynamics; kinetics; electrochemistry; nuclear chemistry; an introduction to organic chemistry and descriptive inorganic chemistry . Basic laboratory experiments will reinforce theoretical principles of general chemistry, introduction of the scientific method, experimental design, chemical instrumentation, data collection and analysis, and preparation of laboratory reports. (3 Lec., 3 Lab.)

CHEM 2423
(4 Credit Hours)

Prerequisite Required: CHEM 1412 with a minimum grade of "C."

Course Description: Fundamental principles of organic chemistry will be studied, including the structure, bonding, properties, and reactivity of organic molecules; and properties and behavior of organic compounds and their derivatives. Emphasis is placed on organic synthesis and mechanisms. Includes study of covalent and ionic bonding, nomenclature, stereochemistry, structure and reactivity, reaction mechanisms, functional groups, and synthesis of simple molecules. Laboratory activities will reinforce fundamental principles of organic chemistry I including methods for the purification and identification of organic compounds. This course is intended for students in science or pre-professional programs. (3 Lec., 4 Lab.)
