Designed for non-science majors. Introduces the basic concepts of chemistry and examines them in terms of real-world examples. Satisfies general distribution requirements. May be taken as a preparatory course for CHE 152 but is not applicable toward a chemistry major or minor. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisites
MAT 150 or equivalent.
This course deals with the fundamental principles of chemical science and basic calculations in science. Topics include scientific measurement, states of matter, solution chemistry, acid-base theory, chemical equilibrium, and oxidation-reduction reactions. This course is intended for science majors as preparation for taking CHE 150/152/153L. Satisfies general curriculum distribution requirements. Lecture only. For CNHS majors only.
Credit Hours: 3
Investigates the fundamental principles of general chemistry, organic chemistry and biochemistry. Topics include chemical bonding, nomenclature, gases, states of matter, solutions, acid and base theory, equilibrium and oxidation-reduction, organic functional groups, stereochemistry, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 4
Prerequisites
MAT 150 or equivalent
Expands on the basic concepts of chemistry. Topics include chemical nomenclature, stoichiometric relationships, the chemistry of gases, atomic structure, chemical bonding and molecular geometry. Permission to retake the course during the fall semester after having earned a letter grade in or having officially withdrawn from the course must be granted by the department chair.
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisites
Pre- or corequisite:
CHE 153L (with a grade of "C" or better) and
MAT 160; high school or college preparatory chemistry strongly recommended.
Laboratory experiments supplement lecture material presented in CHE 152. Permission to retake the course during the fall semester after having earned a letter grade in or having officially withdrawn from the course must be granted by the department chair.
Credit Hours: 1
Prerequisites
Pre- or corequisite:
CHE 152 (with a grade of "C" or better).
A continuation of General Chemistry I. Topics include solution chemistry, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and nuclear chemistry.
Credit Hours: 3
Prerequisites
CHE 152 and
CHE 153L (both with a grade of "C" or better). Pre- or corequisites:
CHE 155L (with a grade of "C" or better) and
MAT 170.
Laboratory experiments supplement lecture material presented in CHE 154.
Credit Hours: 1
Prerequisites
CHE 152 and
CHE 153L (both with a grade of "C" or better). Pre- or corequisite:
CHE 154 (with a grade of "C" or better).
A science course designed to teach concepts of chemistry using works of art as the context. The course may include the study of materials used in creation of objects of art, art preservation, art restoration, forgery detection and nondestructive testing. The course will also explore the effect of environmental pollution, primarily air, on the stability and longevity of objects of art. The influence of materials on aesthetics will also be included. This course has a required international travel component. Lecture only.
Credit Hours: 1-4
