CHEM 1030 Fundamentals of Chemistry (4)
A one semester introductory course designed to provide a broad overview of chemical principles including measurements, atomic theory and bonding, chemical symbols, formulas and equations, inorganic and organic compounds, acid-base theory, and the biochemical highlights of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids and metabolism. PREREQUISITES: One year of high school algebra and an acceptable placement score or DSPM 0800; placement beyond developmental reading and writing. Three lecture, two laboratory hours per week.
CHEM 1110 General Chemistry I (4)
A comprehensive study of chemical principles designed for students pursuing a career in chemistry or other scientific areas. Emphasis will be on atomic structure, bonding, formulas, equations, nomenclature and stoichiometry. Also included are states of matter, hybridization, and molecular geometry. The laboratory will consist of a number of quantitative experiments designed to teach basic techniques including the use of laboratory instrumentation. PREREQUISITES: One year of high school chemistry or CHEM 110* or CHEM 1030 with a grade of C or better, Academic Assessment with ALL Developmental Studies requirements completed. PREREQUISITE or COREQUISITE: MATH 1130, 1710, or higher. Three lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
CHEM 1120 General Chemistry II (4)
The comprehensive study of chemical principles will be continued with emphasis on properties of gases, kinetics, thermochemistry, chemical equilibria, acid-base chemistry, coordination compounds, oxidation-reduction, and electrochemistry. PREREQUISITE: CHEM 1110 and either MATH 1130, 1710 or higher with grades of C or better. Three lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
CHEM 2010 Organic Chemistry I (4)
A study of the preparations, properties, nomenclature and reactions of aliphatic compounds including alkanes, alkenes, cycloalkanes, cycloalkenes, and alcohols. PREREQUISITE: CHEM 1120 with a grade of C or better. Three lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
CHEM 2020 Organic Chemistry II (4)
A study of the preparations, properties, nomenclature and reactions of aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and aromatic compounds. PREREQUISITE: CHEM 2010 with a grade of C or better. Three lecture, three laboratory hours per week.
CHEM 110* Preparation for College Chemistry (3)
This course is designed to prepare students who have an inadequate high school background in chemistry to take the General Chemistry sequence. It provides an introduction to metric units of measurement, mathematical principles involving physical data, chemical symbols, formulas, basic laws of chemistry, equations and simple problems. Will NOT count toward graduation. PREREQUISITES: Two years of high school algebra and an acceptable placement score, or DSPM 0850.
CHEM 276T* Selected Topics in Chemistry (1-6)
A course which deals with topics carefully selected to meet the needs of special groups. The course may be repeated for credit.
