CHEMISTRY COURSE OFFERINGS CHE 105. Contemporary Topics in Chemistry 4 credits A lecture and laboratory appreciation course specifically designed to introduce chemical topics that affect our everyday lives. In addition, the impact (hazards as well as benefits) on society of many modern day chemical products will be discussed. A brief treatment of measurement, atoms, bonding, and structure will be presented. Topics such as the chemistry of personal care products, plastics, pesticides, fertilizers, food additives, soaps and detergents, fossil and nuclear energy, air and water pollution, medicinals, nerve gases, and some important chemicals of commerce will be discussed. Three hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory period each week. This course is intended for non-science majors. Spring CHE 106. Practical Chemistry for Life 4 credits A lecture and laboratory course designed to include inorganic, organic and biochemical topics directly related to the health professions. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory period each week. This course is intended for Athletic Training majors and is also open to non-science majors. Fall CHE 112. Organic and Biochemical Concepts 4 credits A survey of organic and biochemical concepts. Three hours of lecture and one three-hour laboratory period each week. Prerequisite: CHE 122. Fall CHE 121. General Chemistry 4 credits A treatment of the states of matter and the laws governing chemical and physical changes (including kinetics and equilibria), founded on modern concepts of atomic structure and chemical bonding. First semester. Three hours of lecture/recitation, and one three-hour laboratory period each week. Corequisite: MAT 108 or a satisfactory score on the Mathematics Placement Examination. This course is intended for science majors. Fall CHE 122. General Chemistry and Qualitative Analysis 4 credits The course centers on a systematic study of the chemical elements and their compounds, with emphasis on reactions and equilibria in aqueous solution and includes classification and anion separation and identification. The course includes three hours of lecture/recitation and one three-hour laboratory period each week. The laboratory contains inorganic synthesis and characterization experiments. Second Semester. Prerequisite: CHE 121; MAT 205 taken concurrently. Spring
