31 courses with the subject CHEM, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.
This course for non-science majors explores fundamentals of chemistry, scientific method of inquiry, and past, present, and future impact of chemistry on society. Illustrations of general principles come from areas such as the environment, public health, and technological advances. (F4)
Introduction to inorganic, organic, and biochemistry. Topics include atomic structure, bonding, molecular structure, aqueous solutions, behavior of gases, acids, bases, buffers, respiration, energy, and radioisotopes. Emphasis on chemistry of life processes. (F4)(PTK:SCI)
Atomic theory and structure, behavior of matter, principles and laws, and the scientific method of working and reasoning. Laboratory consists of related physical-chemical experiments in first term; second-term lectures emphasize structure, chemical equilibrium, acid/base theory, and qualitative analysis, with laboratory work devoted to the same topics. Two 50-minute periods, two 50-minute problem sessions, one 3-hour laboratory. (PTK - SCI)

An overview of the primary chemical processes that affect our environment. Topics include natural cycles of the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere, as well as some major perturbations introduced by industrialized societies. Lab provides hands-on experience with current important analytical methods for studying the chemistry of the natural environment, analysis and interpretation of experimental data, and applications such as treatment of wastewater and abatement of atmospheric pollutants.
Exploration of elementary concepts of organic chemistry and their application to study of structure, reactivity and synthesis of organic compounds. Emphasis on correlation of the structures of molecules with their functions and explanation of these correlations on fundamental scientific principles. Laboratory uses open-ended exploratory approach for learning fundamental laboratory techniques, as well as providing experience with classical synthesis and qualitative organic analysis including hands-on experience with MS, FTIR, and FTNMR spectroscopic techniques and chemical analysis.

Theory and application of classical quantitative analysis techniques, including gravimetric, titrimetric, potentiometric, visible spectrophotometric, and liquid-liquid extraction methods as applied to organic and inorganic material. Introduction to statistical treatment of experimental data and development of comprehensive understanding of solution equilibria. Substantial laboratory component provides hands-on experience with each method, applied to the assay of real samples.
Introduction to principles and major applications of modern instrumental techniques, including electrochemical, spectrometric and chromatographic methods, as applied to materials assay, quantitative spectrometric analysis of organic chemistry compounds, and investigation of properties of materials and reactions. Laboratory component stresses operation of key instruments to obtain data typical of each.
Physical methods for studying organic structures and reactions. Topics include Huckel molecular orbital theory; applications of the concept of conservation of orbital symmetry to cycloaddition, electrocyclic reactions, and sigmatropic rearrangements; kinetic isotope effects; linear free-energy relationships; trapping of reaction intermediates. Readings taken directly from chemical literature.
The role of organic chemistry in understanding and manipulating biological systems. Organic reaction mechanisms related to processes such as enzyme catalysis and biosynthesis and the rational development of pharmaceuticals to alter these processes will be discussed. Topics include synthetic peptide, DNA, and sugar design, mechanisms of enzyme catalysis, drug development, structure-activity relationships, pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism, and bioorthogonal chemistry in the context of treatments for conditions such as bacterial infections, allergies, inflammation, cancer. Fall. Two 70-minute periods.
Introduction to retrosynthetic approach for designing syntheses of organic molecules and systematic investigation of synthetic use of organic reactions encountered in Chemistry 211-212. Course focus is on synthetic utility of various organic reactions and logic of synthetic design.
Focus on the structural features of the four major classes of biomolecules and the basic functions of these molecules in cells. Coverage of the fundamentals of information flow in biological systems, enzyme kinetics and catalytic mechanisms will set the stage for Biology/Chemistry 328 (Biochemistry II). Students will also be introduced to many of the techniques used in biochemistry laboratories and begin to learn how to investigate biochemical problems.
Builds upon the biochemical foundations covered in Biology/Chemistry 327. Areas include metabolic pathways, strategies and regulation, membrane transport, enzyme catalysis and regulation, bioenergetics, signal transduction pathways, and the biochemistry of disease. Students will be exposed to additional laboratory techniques, experimental design, bioinformatics, and grant proposal writing. Analysis of primary literature is an integral component of the course.
States of matter, chemical thermodynamics, theory of solutions, chemical equilibria, electrochemistry, chemical kinetics, elementary quantum theory. Problems and laboratory reinforce theoretical discussion.
