of elements and compounds, chemical reactions, chemical energetic, acids and bases, and
chemical bonding. An introduction to organic and biochemistry emphasizes the relationship
between molecular structure and function. Lecture only. Co-requisite: MA-2044. Offered
Spring semesters.
CH-1504-L INTRO TO GENERAL, ORGANIC AND BIOCHEMISTRY LAB (1 SEMESTER HOUR)
A laboratory course introducing the principles and concepts covered in CH-1504. Co-requisite:
CH-1504. Offered Spring semesters.
CH-3105 ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY (3 SEMESTER HOURS)
A survey of methods of chemical analysis based on reactions, physical properties, kinetics and
equilibrium using both chemical and instrumental techniques. Lecture only. Prerequisite: CH-
1244 and CH-1244-L; Co-requisite: CH-3105-L. Offered on demand.
CH-3105-L ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY LAB (2 SEMESTER HOURS)
Laboratory course emphasizing the development of skills and technique used in data analysis
and effective communication of experimental results. Both instrumental and wet chemical
techniques are explored. Lab only. Prerequisite: CH-1244 and CH-1244-L; Co-requisite: CH-
3105. Offered on demand.
CH-3214 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I (3 SEMESTER HOURS)
A systematic study of the hydrocarbons and their derivatives, general organic reactions and
theories of reaction mechanics. The laboratory work gives training in the preparation and
properties of various types of compounds. Prerequisite: CH-1244 and CH-1244-L; Co-requisite:
CH-3214-L. Lecture only. Offered Fall semesters.
CH-3214-L ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I LAB (1 SEMESTER HOUR)
This course is designed to familiarize the student with the commonly practiced methods of
isolation and purification of organic compounds such as re-crystallization, distillation, extraction
and steam distillation. Some spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques are also
introduced. Some single step syntheses will be performed. Prerequisites: CH-1244 and CH-
1244-L; Co-requisite: CH-3214. Offered Fall semesters.
CH-3234 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II (3 SEMESTER HOURS)
A continuation of CH-3214. Topics include reaction mechanisms, kinetics, approaches to
chemical synthesis and qualitative analysis of organic compounds. Lecture only. Prerequisites:
CH-3214 and CH-3214-L; Co-requisite CH-3234-L. Offered Spring semesters.
CH-3234-L ORGANIC CHEMISTRY II LAB (1 SEMESTER HOUR)
This is the second in a two semester sequence. The skills learned in the first semester are put
into practice in carrying out single as well as multistep synthesis. Spectroscopic techniques
along with chromatography are reinforced. Prerequisites: CH-3214 and CH-3214-L; Co-requisite
CH-3234. Lab only. Offered Spring semesters.
CH-3904 ADVANCED TOPICS IN CHEMISTRY (3 SEMESTER HOURS)
Study of chemical topics beyond the introductory level. Course topics may include polymers,
computational chemistry, chemical synthesis, spectroscopy, or structure-function relationships.
