2013 – 2014 - Barton College

201 Arts and Sciences: Science, Mathematics, and PsychologyCourses of Instruction: ChemistryCHE 151. General College Chemistry I. 4.A guided inquiry approach to the basic concepts of inorganic chemistry with emphasis onstoichiometry of chemical reactions of solids, solutions, and gases, atomic and molecular structure,chemical bonding, and thermochemistry. This course includes a laboratory component. Duringthe lab, students (working in groups) formulate their own directions to discover the identity andproperties of compounds. Fall.Prerequisite: Placement in MTH 130.Note: One three-hour laboratory per week.CHE 152. General College Chemistry II. 4.Emphasis on equilibria, kinetics, acid-base reactions, electrochemical reactions, and elementarythermo-dynamics. This course includes a laboratory component that introduces spectrophotometricmethods, the pH meter, and selected methods of analysis. Spring.Note: One three-hour laboratory per week.CHE 200. Fundamentals of Organic and Biochemistry. 4.Designed for students in the allied health areas, but a valuable short course for anyone requiringbasic knowledge of organic chemistry and biochemistry. During the laboratory component, thebasic techniques and procedures used in demonstrating the properties of organic compounds andbiological molecules. Spring.Prerequisite: High school chemistry or equivalent.Note: One two-hour laboratory period per week.CHE 300. Introductory Analytical Chemistry. 3.An introductory-level survey of the basic theory and techniques of analytical chemistry. Emphasisplaced on the scope of analytical methods and their application to the areas of chemistry, biologyand the clinical sciences. Fall.Prerequisite: CHE 152.Corequisite: CHE 301.CHE 301. Analytical Laboratory. 1.A basic analytical laboratory program designed to develop skills necessary for standard analyticalprocedures frequently encountered. Includes some basic instrumental techniques. Fall.Corequisite: CHE 300.Note: One three-hour laboratory period per week.
