  • CHEM-102 Preparation for Gen. Chemistry (4 Credits)

    This course is a preparatory chemistry course covering the fundamentals of modern inorganic chemistry with emphasis on problem solving and mathematical calculations. Topics include classification of matter; atomic and molecular structure; chemical formula and nomenclature; chemical equations and stoichiometry; thermochemistry; and gas laws and solutions. CHEM-102 is intended primarily as a preparation for students planning to take CHEM-101A. CHEM-102 is recommended for students who have been away from high school chemistry for more than two years or those whose previous chemistry background is inadequate for CHEM-101A. The course requires students purchase a lab coat, chemical safety goggles, lab coat, lab notebook, latex gloves, scientific calculator, and online homework access code. Other supplies are optional.

  • CHEM-112B Organic Chemistry (5 Credits)

    CHEM-112B is the second semester college organic chemistry course for chemistry and biology majors, pre-professional health, premed, engineering students, and any other science oriented majors that require a full year of organic chemistry. Topics include concepts of aromaticity, organic bases, carbon-carbon bond formations, organometallic reactions, enolate ions, conjugated systems, oxidations and reductions of functional groups, multistep synthesis, and structure elucidation using combined NMR, IR, and Mass spectroscopy. Reactions and mechanistic pathways involving aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and their derivatives; amines; and aromatic compounds are taught in depth. Plastics, polymers, and introduction to biological molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids are also covered. Students need to purchase their own lab coat; goggles with indirect venting and side shielding; gloves; calculator; lab notebook; and online homework access code.
