CHE 141 Survey of Organic Chemistry
Credits: 4.00
This course covers the fundamentals of organic chemistry and includes nomenclature, structures, properties, and reactions of the important classes of organic compounds. The principles of stereo chemistry, reaction mechanisms and synthesis are presented. In addition to presenting basic techniques of organic chemistry, laboratory exercises demonstrate and clarify the principles presented in the lecture. Laboratories involving simple syntheses, purifications, and identification techniques are included. PREREQUISITE: CHE 131 CO-REQUISITE: CHE 132
CHE 150 Essentials of Chemistry
Credits: 4.00
A course designed to provide the chemical and mathematical back-ground essential for success in CHE 151-152, the chemistry for science majors. The majority of students choosing CHE 150 will be those who have not had high school chemistry or who feel inadequate with their previous preparation. CHE 150 credits will count toward the associate degree at Montgomery County Community College but may not be transferable to other colleges. PREREQUISITE(S): None CO-REQUISITE(S): MAT 100 Intermediate Algebra
CHE 151 Principles of Chemistry I
Credits: 4.00
This course is a study of the fundamentals of general chemistry for the science major. An emphasis is placed on atomic structure, molecular structure, bonding, periodic law, reactions and weight relations, gases, liquids, solids, changes of state and thermochemistry. The laboratory includes experiments from topics discussed in lecture. PREREQUISITE(S): High school Chemistry or CHE 150 Essentials of Chemistry CO-REQUISITE(S): MAT 161 Precalculus I or MAT 170 College Algebra and Trigonometry This course meets General Education Core Goal 2: Analytic Skills and Core Goal 8: Physical and Life Sciences
CHE 152 Principles of Chemistry II
Credits: 4.00
This course is a continuation of CHE 151. The topics covered are: solutions, kinetics, equilibria, electrochemistry, introductory thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry and introduction to Organic chemistry. The laboratory includes labs in these areas with emphasis on Acid-base titration. PREREQUISITE(S): CHE 151 Principles of Chemistry I
CHE 213 Quantitative Analysis
Credits: 4.00
An introduction to the principles and practices of gravimetric and volumetric analysis. Includes both the theory and its practical applications related to separations, chromatography, pH determinations, water determinations, etc. Techniques of information analysis are presented beginning with physical observation and instrumentation methods and continuing with evaluation of sources of error, accuracy of methods, and proper application of techniques. Prerequisite: CHE 132 and CHE 141
CHE 214 Instrumental Analysis
Credits: 4.00
An introduction to the principles and methods for analysis of chemicals using appropriate instrumentation. All modern analytical methods will be discussed in lecture. Laboratory exercises will emphasize simple preparation and the use of spectrophotometers (UV, VIS, and IR), chromatographs (GC and HPLC), and electrochemical methods, colorimetric and other optical analytical methods. Prerequisites: CHE 131, CHE 132, CHE 141, and CHE 213
