Courses in Chemistry.
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: EN 090, EN 099, MT 090, and MT 099 OR minimum acceptable test scores for placement in college-level English and math.
Laboratory Course: 3 hours in the classroom and 2 hours lab work each week.
This course is intended primarily for those students pursuing careers in the professional health care fields. Calculations involving physical quantities will be presented followed by atomic structure, chemical bonding, and chemical reactions. The course will then cover gas laws, solution chemistry, and acidity. A brief introduction to structural organic chemistry will also be presented.
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: CH 203.
Laboratory Course: 3 hours in the classroom and 2 hours lab work each week.
Beginning with a review of organic nomenclature, this course focuses on classes of organic compounds and their reactions. Several biochemical topics will be introduced, including the chemistry of the major classes of biological molecules. The course will cover the structure and reactions of bodily fluids, as well as energy-acquiring and energy-releasing pathways.
CH 213 Principles of Chemistry I (F) 4 Semester HoursPrerequisite: EN 090, EN 099, or minimum acceptable test scores for placement in college-level English and MT 123 (MT 123 waived for ACT math score of 20 or higher)A Laboratory Course: 3 hours in the classroom and 2 hours lab work each week.Intended as a general chemistry course for college students, this course covers the properties of matter and their measurement, atomic theory, reaction stoichiometry and thermochemistry. Electron configurations, chemical bonding, and molecular geometry will also be introduced.
4 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: CH 213.
A Laboratory Course: 3 hours in the classroom and 2 hours lab work each week.
A continuation of CH 213, this course deals with intermolecular forces, solution properties, kinetics, and acid-base reactions. The course will also cover gas laws, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.
3 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: CH 214.
This course presents the chemistry of aliphatic compounds with emphasis on the mechanisms and stereochemistry of their reactions. Modern nomenclature and descriptions of stereoscopic methods in organic chemistry are discussed throughout the course. The laboratory accompanying this course presents an introduction to the fundamental laboratory techniques used in organic chemistry.
2 Semester Hours
Co-requisite: CH 223.
This course is an accompanying lab course for students enrolled in CH 223. This course presents an introduction to the fundamental laboratory techniques used in organic chemistry.
3 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: CH 223.
A continuation of Organic Chemistry I. This course presents the chemistry of aromatic compounds and the major classes of biological chemical compounds, along with modern methods of chemical synthesis.
2 Semester Hours
Co-requisite: CH 225.
This is an accompanying lab for students enrolled in CH 225. This course continues to emphasize the basic methods and techniques used in preparing organic compounds, while introducing qualitative organic syntheses.
1-3 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: Permission of Division Chair.
Presents courses in Chemistry which the College expects to offer only once or occasionally in response to specific community needs. The course may consist of seminars, specialized or individual instruction, and/or research in an area related to Chemistry.
