CHM1020 Chemistry for Liberal Arts
Description: Students will benefit by taking high school algebra
or MAT 0024 prior to enrolling in this course. This course,
designed to meet the General Education Requirements for
non-science majors, is designed especially for students who wish
to gain an understanding of the fundamental nature of physical
science from the chemical point of view. The treatment utilizes an
approach to scientific concepts and methods, stressing and
illustrating principles rather than merely listing phenomena.
Three contact hours. (CBE) A.A., A.S., A.A.S.
CHM1025C Introduction To General Chemistry
Description: Corequisite: MAC 1105 or satisfactory score on
placement test. This course is an introduction to the concepts of
inorganic chemistry including structures of matter, atomic theory,
nomenclature, bonding, gases, solutions, equilibrium, and acids
and bases. This course is for students who have had no previous
chemistry and plan to major in science, engineering, pre-medicine
or pharmacy. Six contact hours: four lecture hours, two laboratory
hours. A.A., A.S., A.A.S.
CHM1032C Principles Of General Chemistry
Description: Corequisite: MAT 1033 or satisfactory score on the
placement test. Students will benefit by taking high school
algebra or MAT 1033 prior to enrolling in this course. This course
is an introduction to the concepts of inorganic chemistry
including structures of matter, atomic theory, nomenclature,
bonding, bases and introduction to organic chemistry. This course
is for students who have had no previous chemistry and plan to
major in dental hygiene, medical technology, nursing or health
related fields. Six contact hours: four lecture hours, two
laboratory hours. A.A., A.S., A.A.S.
CHM2045C General Chemistry I with Quantitative Analysis
Description: Prerequisites: MAC 1105 and CHM 1025C or satisfactory
score on the chemistry placement test. This course, designed to
introduce students to modern chemical concepts, includes modern
atomic structure and periodicity, chemical bonding, states of
matter, gas laws and solutions. The laboratory work will be
quantitative in nature, stressing accurate laboratory techniques.
This course meets the first year college requirements for those
majoring in science, engineering, pre-medicine or pharmacy. Six
contact hours: three lecture hours, three laboratory hours. (CBE)
A.A., A.S., A.A.S.
CHM2046C General Chemistry I with Qualitative Analysis
Description: Prerequisite: grade of "C" or better in CHM 2045C.
This course, a continuation of General Chemistry and Qualitative
Analysis I, stresses chemical equilibrium, chemical kinetics,
electrochemistry, oxidation-reduction and selected families of
metals and non-metals. Laboratory work includes studies of ionic
equilibrium in aqueous solutions and semi-micro qualitative
analysis. Six contact hours: three lecture hours, three laboratory
hours. A.A., A.S., A.A.S.
CHM2205C Introductions to Organic/Biochemistry
Description: Prerequisite: CHM 1032C. This course is an
introduction to organic chemistry of functional groups and a
survey of the biochemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and
nucleic acids. Six contact hours: three lecture hours, three
laboratory hours. A.A., A.S.
CHM2210C Organic Chemistry I
Description: Prerequisite: CHM 2046C or equivalent. This course
emphasizes the general principles and theories of organic
chemistry with emphasis on classification, nomenclature, methods
of preparation, characteristic reactions, stereo-chemistry and
structure determination of organic compounds. Six contact hours:
three lecture hours, three laboratory hours. A.A.
CHM2211C Organic Chemistry II
Description: Prerequisite: CHM 2210C. This course, a continuation
of Organic Chemistry I includes mechanisms of organic reactions,
carbohydrates and macromolecules. Six contact hours: three lecture
hours, three laboratory hours. A.A.
