Selected organic chemistry experiments.
This course addresses the fundamental theory, experimental methods, and applications of analytical chemistry in the qualitative and quantitative determination of chemical substances. This course covers titrimetric and gravimetric analysis based on wet chemical techniques, the importance of univariate statistics and calibration techniques in expressing the quality of analytical determinations, and a brief survey of instrumental analysis techniques based on spectrometry, chromatography, and electrochemistry. Prerequisites: CH 106, CH 106L, MAT 221.
This one semester course complements the theories and applications introduced in CH 320. Since analytical chemistry is the branch of chemistry focused on the generation and analysis of qualitative and quantitative chemical data, students are taught the proper approaches to obtain and evaluate high-quality analytical data regarding the chemical composition of samples. Such experiments are based on traditional "wet chemistry& determinations (titrimetry and/or gravimetry), common spectrochemical determinations using atomic and molecular spectroscopic techniques, chromatographic separations of complex mixtures, electrochemical determinations, and/or computer-based molecular models. 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.
An independent laboratory research experience in chemistry.
This course covers functions, limits and rates of change, derivatives, application of differentiation, integrals, and applications of integration. Fulfills Ursuline Core Curriculum Math requirement. *MA/DC
This course covers inverse functions, techniques of integration, further applications of integration, parametric equations and polar coordinates, and infinite sequences and series. Fulfills Ursuline Core Curriculum Math requirement. *MA/DC
This course covers vectors and the geometry of space, vector functions, partial derivatives, multiple integrals, and vector calculus.
The first of a two-semester introductory physics course at the college algebra and elementary trigonometry level. Course topics include kinematics, heat, circular motion, vibration, waves and sound.
