CHEM 102 Q Course

Title

Basic Principles of Chemistry

Professor

Simeen Sattar

Schedule

Mon Th 10:30 am - 12:30 pm HEG 102
Lab A: Mon 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm HEG 204
Lab B: Tu 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm HEG 204

An introduction to the composition, structure, and properties of matter. Central concepts in the second semester are energy transfer, spontaneity, and change (thermochemistry, chemical equilibrium, and kinetics). The laboratory stresses basic techniques and quantitative applications of topics discussed in class. Concurrent enrollment in calculus is recommended for students who intend to go on in chemistry.

Prerequisite: Chemistry 101

Principles of Chemical Analysis

Professor

Craig Anderson

Schedule

Tu Th 10:30 am - 12:30 pm HEG 201
Lab: Th 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm HEG 204
This course surveys the field of analytical chemistry with emphasis on the basic principles of solution equilibria. Quantitative treatment of solubility, acidity, and oxidation potential provide the background for the understanding of gravimetric and volumetric techniques. Modern methods of instrumental analysis are studied and integrated into the laboratory work. Prerequisite: Chemistry 101-102.

Title

Advanced Inorganic Chemistry

Professor

Craig Anderson

Schedule

Mon Wed 1:30 pm - 3:30 pm HEG 201
Lab: Tu 1:30 pm - 5:00 pm ROSE 205
An introduction to the chemistry of the elements, the class places emphasis on the classification of the properties and reactivity of the elements by chemical periodicity, structure, and bonding. Topics in modern inorganic chemistry to be covered include: coordination chemistry of the transition metals, organometallic chemistry, and symmetry. Laboratory work will include synthetic and instrumental techniques that apply to inorganic and organometallic chemistry. Prerequisite: Chemistry 201-202, and either Chemistry 301 or 411.

Title

Physical Chemistry

Professor

Simeen Sattar

Schedule

Tu 10:30 am - 12:30 pm HEG 106
Th 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm HEG 201

This course continues a modern, molecular approach to the subject. In the second semester, statistical mechanics is developed as the link between quantum chemistry (discussed in Chemistry 411) and equilibrium thermodynamics and chemical kinetics, this semester's main topics. Carefully chosen experiments illustrate these topics.

Prerequisite: Chemistry 411
