This one semester course will explore many of the diverse aspects of analytical chemistry. Analytical chemistry is the branch of chemistry dealing with measurement, both qualitative and quantitative. This discipline is also concerned with the chemical composition of samples. This course will cover analytical terminology, common spectro-chemical methods, atomic spectroscopy, separations of complex mixtures and electrochemical methods. Prerequisites: CH 106, CH 106L, MAT 221.
This one semester course will complement the theories introduced in the Analytical Chemistry lecture. Since the field of analytical chemistry has infiltrated each discipline of chemistry, lab experiments will be conducted to illustrate applications of analytical chemistry across the disciplines. Since analytical chemistry is the branch of chemistry dealing with both qualitative and quantitative measurements, students will be taught the proper techniques to obtain high-quality analytical data. This discipline is also concerned with the chemical composition of samples. Labs will incorporate common spectro-chemical instruments such as atomic spectroscopy, separations of complex mixtures and electrochemical methods. Prerequisites: CH 106, CH 106L, MAT 221.
This one semester course is a survey of the basic concepts of physical chemistry including their application to understanding chemical and physical phenomena. The course includes thermodynamics, chemical and phase equilibria, electrochemistry, kinetics, spectrocopy and other topics in physical chemistry. Prerequisites: CH 106, CH 106L, CH 222, CH 222L, MAT 222, PY 204.
Structure function relationship for carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids; enzymes and common mechanisms.
Selected experiments involving carbohydrates, proteins and lipids.
