| CHEM 2080 |
General Chemistry II
Covers fundamental chemical principles, including reaction kinetics, thermodynamics, and equilibrium. These principles are presented quantitatively and explored in the laboratory. Considerable attention is given to the quantitative calculations and techniques important for further work in chemistry. Catalog Distribution: (PHS-AS) (CHPH-AG, OPHLS-AG) |
Fall, Spring, Summer. |
| CHEM 2510 |
Introduction to Experimental Organic Chemistry
Introduction to the synthesis, separation, characterization, and handling of materials, including chromatography, extraction, crystallization, infrared spectroscopy, and others. An experiment is performed the first week of lab. Students need to enroll in the course Canvas site and complete the appropriate pre-lab assignments outlined on that site before coming to the first lab.
