CHEM 0110 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1 4 credits A basic college chemistry course for science, engineering, and medical professions majors. Emphasizes stoichiometry, gas laws, atomic theory, thermochemistry, and solutions. There are no chemistry prerequisites for this course, however college algebra (MATH 0031) is a prerequisite or corequisite. (Meets CAS Natural Science Requirement.) (Meets UPT AD Physical Science Requirement, either independent or sequence, when taken prior to CHEM 0120 or CHEM 0810.) (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.) Frequency of Offering: fall term. CHEM 0120 - GENERAL CHEMISTRY 2 4 credits A continuation of CHEM 0110, which covers solutions, solid state, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, nuclear chemistry, and all phases of equilibrium. Prerequisite: CHEM 0110. (Meets CAS Natural Science Requirement.) (Meets UPT AD Physical Science Requirement, either independent or sequence, when taken with CHEM 0110.) (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.) Frequency of Offering: spring term.
CHEM 0175 - INTRODUCTION TO NANO SCIENCE 2 credits Introduces students to modern nano science through direct observation and experimentation on selected nano material (nano particles, nano wires, quantum dots, self assembled monolayers, etc.). Instruction will be a combination of lectures, seminars and hands-on experimentation. Guest speakers may be invited for special topics. The course will also allow students to gain experiences with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Students will be required to complete a research paper that investigates the possibilities for the future uses or applications of Nano Science Technology. Prerequisite: CHEM 0110 and CHEM 0120. (Freshmen can take CHEM 0120 as a corequisite if they have achieved a 3.0 GPA average in their fall science courses.) Frequency of Offering: spring term, every two years.
CHEM 0176 - INTRODUCTION TO NANO SCIENCE LABORATORY 1 credit Students are required to conduct a mini nano-related research project of their own choice. Students will need to submit a one page project proposal by the end of the 6th week for instructor approval before beginning the project. Each project will require an extensive literature search and culminate in a written report. Corequisite: CHEM 0175 with permission of the course instructor. (Freshmen are eligible for this course if they have achieved a 3.5 average GPA in their fall science courses.) Frequency of Offering: spring term, every two years.
CHEM 0196 - STUDENTS IN THE ACS 1 credit The Student Affiliates Chapter of the American Chemical Society (ACS) enables students to participate in projects to assist elementary, middle school, and high school students, as well as community members, in learning about how chemistry affects their lives. Students will learn about, teach others about, and design demonstrations in chemistry through a variety of new and existing projects. When appropriate, students will also have the opportunity to attend the annual national meeting of the ACS. May be taken for credit three times only. There are no prerequisites for this course. NOTE: Students may participate in the ACS without being registered for this course; however, in that case, no credit or grade will be awarded. Frequency of Offering: fall and spring term.
CHEM 0250 - INTRODUCTORY ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY 3 credits This course is concerned with the rigorous treatment of equilibria that are of analytical importance and with an introduction into electroanalytical methods, emission and absorption spectrophotometry, and modern separation methods, particularly chromatography. Prerequisite: CHEM 0120. (Satisfies UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.)
CHEM 0260 - INTRODUCTORY ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LABORATORY 1 credit The primary objectives of this course are to introduce the student to current analytical methods and to cultivate sound experimental technique. Laboratory work includes ion-exchange separations, complexometric and potentiometric acid-base titrations, and absorption spectrophotometry. Corequisite: CHEM 0250.
CHEM 0310 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 1 3 credits An introduction to organic molecules through the study of isomerism, reaction mechanisms, and syntheses. Prerequisite: CHEM 0120. (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.) Frequency of Offering: fall term.
CHEM 0320 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 2 3 credits A continuation of CHEM 0310 with complex molecules of biological interest stressed near the end of this course. Prerequisite: CHEM 0310. (Meets UPB Physical Sciences Requirement.) Frequency of Offering: spring term.
CHEM 0330 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LABORATORY 1 1 credit Laboratory course in which students are given the opportunity to carry out important synthetic reactions where products are purified, characterized, and identified using various physical and instrumental methods and techniques. Corequisite: CHEM 0310. Frequency of Offering: fall term.
CHEM 0340 - ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LABORATORY 2 1 credit A continuation of CHEM 0330. Corequisite: CHEM 0320. Frequency of Offering: spring term.
CHEM 0910 - CHEMICAL PRINCIPLES FOR THE HEALTH PROFESSIONS 4 credits A one-term lecture and laboratory course covering general and biological chemistry, designed primarily for students preparing for nursing or another health-related profession. Course covers aspects of general chemistry including atomic structure and bonding and chemical equilibria. A brief introduction to organic chemistry including physical properties and representative reactions of common functional groups is followed by the chemistry of the major classes of biomolecules and metabolism. There are no chemistry prerequisites for this course, however college algebra (MATH 0031) is a prerequisite or corequisite. (Meets CAS Natural Science Requirement.) (Meets UPB Life or Physical Sciences Requirement.) Frequency of Offering: fall term.
