Course description:
CHM 204 Organic Chemistry I (3-6) 5 hrs.
Applies modern theories of electronic structures to the study of chemical and
physical properties of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and alkyl halides. Students
also study reaction mechanisms and stereochemistry as they apply to the above
classes of organic compounds. Laboratory includes syntheses, qualitative
organic analyses, IR and visible spectrophotometry, gas chromatography, thin
layer chromatography, HPLC, polarimetry, and refractometry. Intended primarily
for science majors and pre-professionals. IAI BIO 908 IAI EGR 963 IAI CHM 913
Prerequisite: CHM 122 with a grade of "C" or better or consent of instructor.

Course description:
CHM 210 Quantitative Analysis (3-6) 5 hrs.
Introduces theory and applications of sampling and quantitative chemical
analysis with a focus on acid-base equilibria, complexation, extraction and
chromatography, solubility, precipitation, redox reactions, and activity.
Considerable emphasis is placed on extended equilibrium concepts and the
fundamentals of spectroscopy. Laboratory experiments are related to lecture
topics; they emphasize experimental precision and accuracy and include
spreadsheet-based computer calculations.
Prerequisite: CHM 122 or equivalent with a grade of "C" or better.
