Chemistry

Chm 103 Principles of Chemistry I

Lecture: 3 hrs. Lab: 3 hrs. Credit: 4 hrs.

A basic concepts course of modern chemistry for students with little or no previous preparation. Topics include atomic and molecular structure, stoichiometry, physical states of matter, solutions, acids and bases and an introduction to organic chemistry (hydrocarbons). Prerequisites: MAT 097 or MAT 167 or Regents Math A with a Score of 080.

Chm 104A Intro/Org & Bio Chem

Lecture: 3 hrs. Credit: 3 hrs.

A study of the important families of organic compounds building up to the more complex structures (proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, vitamins, enzymes) important to life. Prerequisites: CHM 103 or Regents Math A with a Score of 080.

Chm 104B Org & Bio Lab

Lab: 3 hrs. Credit: 1 hrs.

A laboratory program designed to complement CHM 104A. The laboratory exercises will provide practical experience with the classes of compounds presented in the lectures. Prerequisites: CHM 104A.

Chm 105 Environmental Science

Lecture: 3 hrs. Lab: 3 hrs. Credit: 4 hrs.

A survey of the origin and effects of crucial environmental problems. Scientific principles in treatment of such topics as population growth, resource depletion, industrial and municipal pollution, natural cycles of materials. Actual studies of local environmental problems. Fulfills science requirements for non-science major. Can not be used toward major requirement for Math-Science A.S. degree.

Chm 107 Chemistry In Society

Lecture: 3 hrs. Lab: 3 hrs. Credit: 4 hrs.

Chemical principles are studied and applied to subjects of interest to citizens in our society. Topics may include air and water pollution, energy generation, nuclear power, food production and preservation, industrial chemistry, chemotherapy and drugs, development and production of consumer products, and chemical toxins and their hazards. The course addresses the National Science Standards for teachers of grades K through 8 in the area of chemistry. This course fulfills the science requirement for non-science majors. Prescience and nursing majors should take CHM 103. The course cannot be used towards the major requirement for the Math-Science AS degree.

Chm 111 General Chemistry I

Lecture: 3 hrs. Lab: 3 hrs. Credit: 4 hrs.

The study of fundamental laws and theories of chemistry and their application to descriptive chemistry of the elements. Topics include atomic and molecular structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, kinetics, solution equilibria, oxidation-reduction, organic chemistry and an introduction to the chemistry of materials. Prerequisites: CHM 103 , MAT 108 or Regents Math B with a Score of 070.

Chm 112 General Chemistry II

Lecture: 3 hrs. Lab: 3 hrs. Credit: 4 hrs.

A continuation of Chm 111. Prerequisites: CHM 111 with a Grade of C or better.

Chm 202 Quant & Instrumental Analysis

Lecture: 2 hrs. Lab: 6 hrs. Credit: 4 hrs.

Application of chemical fact, theory and experimental technique to determination of composition. Theory and laboratory techniques of gravimetric, volumetric and physio-chemical analyses are taught with introduction to instrumental analysis. Prerequisites: CHM 112.

Chm 203 Organic Chemistry I

Lecture: 3 hrs. Lab: 3 hrs. Credit: 4 hrs.

A systematic study of representative carbon compounds based on correlation of structure with electronic theory, nomenclature, physical and chemical properties, stability, spectroscopic data, mechanisms and reaction rates. Prerequisites: CHM 111 , CHM 112.

Chm 204 Organic Chemistry II

Lecture: 3 hrs. Lab: 3 hrs. Credit: 4 hrs.

A continuation of Chm 203. Prerequisites: CHM 203 with a Grade of C or better.
