2006-2008 HBU Catalog - Houston Baptist University

CHEM 2416 General Chemistry IIPrerequisite: CHEM 2415This is a continuation of CHEM 2415 with an emphasis on chemical equilibrium,thermodynamics, electrochemistry and kinetics. This course includes one semesterhour credit for laboratory sessions that are devoted to qualitative analysis.CHEM 2423 Quantitative AnalysisPrerequisite: CHEM 2416This course is a continuation and extension of CHEM 2415 and 2416 into the studyof the basic principles of analytical chemistry, which include stoichiometry, andhomogeneous and heterogeneous equilibria. This course includes one semester hourcredit for laboratory work that includes both volumetric and gravimetric analysis aswell as an introduction to instrumental analysis.CHEM 3121 Organic Chemistry LaboratoryPrerequisite: CHEM 3313This course provides instruction in basic organic laboratory techniques and simpleorganic reactions.CHEM 3313 Organic Chemistry IPrerequisite: CHEM 2416This is the first lecture course in organic chemistry for science majors. It begins asurvey of the structure, reactivity, reactions, reaction mechanisms, and synthesis ofcompounds containing carbon.CHEM 3333 Organic Chemistry IIPrerequisite: CHEM 3313This is the second lecture course in organic chemistry for science majors. It continuesthe survey of the structure, reactivity, reactions, reaction mechanisms, and synthesisof compounds containing carbon that was begun in CHEM 3313.CHEM 3415 The LithosphereThis course introduces the physical environment with emphasis on laws and conceptsthat impact the earth. Students will study the forces and composition of the earthand apply these scientific principles. Topics will include rocks, minerals, landforms,seismology, paleontology, glaciers, and the hydrologic cycle. This course includesone semester hour credit for laboratory sessions. This course does not count towardsa chemistry major. (Also offered as PHYS 3415 and GEOG 3415.)CHEM 3443 Modern Analytical TechniquesPrerequisites: CHEM 2423, 4262 and PHYS 2423This is an introduction to the basic concepts of applied analytical chemistry. It includesan introduction to instrumentation as applied to routine chemical analysis, includingspectroscopy, chromatography and electrochemical methods. This course includesone semester hour credit for laboratory sessions.CHEM 4181, 4281, 4381, 4481 Special TopicsTopics are selected on basis on students’ need and academic qualifications of staff.If regular lectures are not given, a minimum of 30 hours of work for each hour creditmust be included. Laboratory may or may not be included.Courses / 237
