Undergraduate Bulletin of Information 2001-2002COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCESFERNANDO A. SOUTO, Professor, Ph.D., 1978,University of Alberta.CARMEN A. VEGA OLIVENCIA, Professor,Ph.D., 1975, University of Florida.MARISOL VERA, Professor, Ph.D., 1986, PurdueUniversity.RENE S. VIETA RIVERA, Professor, Ph.D., 1984,Texas A&M University.COURSES OF INSTRUCTIONDEPARTMENT OFCHEMISTRYUNDERGRADUATE COURSESCHEM 2001-2002. ELEMENTARYCHEMISTRY. Four credit hours per semester.Three hours of lecture and one two-hourlaboratory per week each semester.A general course covering the fundamentalprinciples of General Chemistry, and specialtopics of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry.This course is intended for students not requiredto take additional chemistry courses, and islargely descriptive in nature.CHEM 3001. GENERAL CHEMISTRY I. Fourcredit hours. Three hours of lecture and onethree-hour laboratory per week.Basic principles of chemistry: composition,properties, and changes of mater. Topics include:atomic structure, chemical reactions, periodicproperties of the elements, stolchiometrychemical bonding, and thermochemistry.CHEM 3002. GENERAL CHEMISTRY II. Fourcredit hours. Three hours of lecture and onethree-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite:CHEM3001.Basic principles of chemistry: composition,properties, and changes of mater. Topics include:the states of matter, solutions, acid and bases,kinetics, chemical equilibrium, andelectrochemistry.CHEM 3025. ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY I.Four credit hours. Three hours of lecture and onefour-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite:CHEM3002 or CHEM3042.General concepts of quantitative chemicalanalysis with emphasis on classical methodsincluding volumetric and gravimetric analysisand chemical equilibria.CHEM 3031-3032. ORGANIC CHEMISTRY.Four credit hours per semester. Three hours oflecture and one four-hour laboratory per weekeach semester. Prerequisite: CHEM 3002 orCHEM 3042.A study of the reaction and synthesis of organiccompounds. Theories of structure andmechanism related to these reactions arepresented from a modern point of view.CHEM 3041. GENERAL CHEMISTRY I. Fourcredit hours. Three hours of lecture and onethree-hour laboratory per week.Qualitative and quantitative aspects offundamental chemical principles, emphasizingthe relationship between the relationship betweenthe chemical behavior of matter and its atomicand molecular structure. Topics includedimensional analysis, atomic theory, andstoichiometry.CHEM 3042. GENERAL CHEMISTRY II. Fourcredit hours. Three hours of lecture and one threehourlaboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHEM3041.Qualitative and quantitative aspects offundamental chemical principles, emphasizing therelationship between the chemical behavior ofmatter and its atomic and molecular structure.Topics include colligative properties, chemicalkinetics, and chemical equilibrium.CHEM 3055. ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY.Four credit hours. Three hours of lecture andone four-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite:CHEM 3002 or CHEM 3042.A study of fundamental topics in analyticalchemistry. Emphasis will be given to boththeory and practice of current instrumentalmethods of analysis.120
