Courses Offered
chemistry, or who received a grade of less than 80% on the
Chemistry Regents. This course is restricted to Forensic Science
majors.
Co-requisite: MAT 104 or MAT 105
CHE 102 General Chemistry I-B
7 hours; 3 hours lecture, 1 hour recitation, 3 hours laboratory; 3 credits
This course is the second semester of the CHE 101-102 sequence.
Topics include the hydrogen atom, electron configurations, Lewis
structures, theories of bonding, thermochemistry, properties of pure
liquids and solids, solutions, and colligative properties. Laboratory
exercises will include small scale, semi-quantitative experiments
related to the lecture topics covered in the CHE 101-102 sequence.
The entire 101-102 series must be completed in order to receive
credit as a general education science equivalent.
Prerequisite: CHE 101. This course is restricted to Forensic Science
majors
CHE 103 General Chemistry I
7 1/2 hours: 3 hours lecture, 1 1/2 hours recitation, 3 hours laboratory; 5 credits
This is a basic course in chemistry dealing with modern atomic and
molecular theory. It introduces the basic properties and reactions of
the elements and the compounds, which will be explored in greater
detail in General Chemistry II. Laboratory exercises stress principles
of qualitative and semi-quantitative experimentation. They will
foster a better understanding of chemical principles and ensure that
the necessary skills are developed to work in a scientific laboratory
safely and effectively. This course is designed for students with a
science background and for Forensic Science and Fire Science
majors. Regents level high school chemistry is highly desired.
Prerequisites: Placement into MAT 141 or higher, or placement into
MAT 104 or MAT 105 and a score of 80% or higher on the New
York State Chemistry Regents. Students who did not take the
Chemistry Regents will need departmental permission.
CHE 104 General Chemistry II
7 ½ hours: 3 hours lecture, 1 ½ hours recitation, 3 hours laboratory; 4 credits
This is the second half of beginning chemistry. It builds on the basic
properties and reactions of the elements and the compounds learned
in the first semester of general chemistry and ends with an
introduction to organic chemistry. The laboratory stresses principles
of qualitative and semi-quantitative experimentation and fosters
competence in the skills needed to work safely and effectively in a
scientific laboratory. This course is designed for students with a
science background and for Forensic Science and Fire Science
majors. Regents level high school chemistry is desired.
Prerequisites: CHE 103, or an average grade of 2.0 or better in CHE
101-102 or equivalent, and completion of MAT 104 or MAT 105 or
equivalent
CHE 201-202 Organic Chemistry
7 1/2 hours each: 3 hours lecture, 1 1/2 hours recitation, 3 hours laboratory; 4 credits
Introductory study of properties and behavior of organic molecules,
including nomenclature, structure and bonding, reaction mechanisms,
synthetic methods, and modern spectroscopic techniques for
structural analysis. Concurrent laboratory work utilizing modern
semi-micro methodology for synthesis, purification and analysis.
Prerequisites: ENG 101, CHE 104, which is a prerequisite for CHE
201. CHE 201 is a prerequisite for CHE 202.
CHE 220 Quantitative Analysis
9 hours: 3 hours lecture, 6 hours laboratory; 4 credits
A balanced treatment of the classical methods of gravimetric and
volumetric analysis, including acid-base, precipitation,
complexometric and redox titrations.
Prerequisites: ENG 101 and CHE 104
