CHEM 1305 - Introductory Chemistry I

This course is designed for students in nursing, respiratory therapy, and similar heath care areas. It also serves as a basis introductory course for students not majoring in science who wish to investigate some of the fundamentals of chemistry while meeting a physical science laboratory degree requirement. It covers the metric system, fundamental laws and theories, the structure of matter, formula and equation writing, periodic classifi cation, gas laws, acid, bases, salts and solutions. The student should consult with an advisor relative to the use of this course in the degree sequence.   R

CHEM 1311 - General Chemistry I

CHEM 1311 provides a basis for advanced work in the sciences. Topics covered include fundamental laws and theories, the structure of matter and periodic classification relationships, bonding theory, acids, bases and salts, properties of gases and solutions. Emphasis is placed on chemical calculations. Prerequisite: High school algebra II or MATH 0350   R, M

CHEM 1312 - General Chemistry II

Topics studied include equilibrium systems, electrochemistry, thermochemistry, nuclear chemistry, advanced bonding, kinetics, pH, buffers, and an introduction to organic chemistry. Chemical calculations are stressed. Prerequisite: High school algebra II or MATH 0350 and CHEM 1311.   R, M

CHEM 1407 - Introductory Chemistry II

This is a continuation of CHEM 1405. Radioactivity and nuclear changes, equilibrium systems, the pH scale, chemical systems relating to pollution and the environment are studied. Most of the semester is devoted to the study of carbon compounds with emphasis on physiological chemistry. Prerequisite: CHEM 1305 and CHEM 1105 or CHEM 1311 and CHEM 1111.  $24 lab fee R, W

CHEM 1408 - Introductory Chemistry II - Introduction to Bio-Organic Chemistry

This course is designed principally for the student whose major interest is in one of the health related fields such as nursing and nutrition. Topics include radioactivity, classes of organic compounds and their reactions, about half the course being devoted to the study of carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, vitamins and important substances in biological processes. The student should consult with a counselor relative to the use of this course in the degree sequence. Prerequisite: CHEM 1305 and CHEM 1105 or CHEM 1311 and CHEM 1111.  $24 lab fee R, W
