2013-2014 College Catalog | Mount Aloysius College CH 101 Chemistry I....................................................................................................................3 Lecture/3 Lab/4 Credits Discusses atomic theory, chemical bonding, states of matter, solutions and acid-base concepts. Prerequisite: High school chemistry or permission of instructor. CH 102 Chemistry II...................................................................................................................3 Lecture/3 Lab/4 Credits Continuation of CH 101. Includes reaction rates, equilibrium, oxidation-reduction and a brief introduction to organic chemistry. Laboratory includes both qualitative and quantitative experiments. Prerequisite: CH 101. CH 301 Organic Chemistry I......................................................................................................3 Lecture/3 Lab/4 Credits This course is an introduction to principles and theory of organic chemistry through the study of molecular structure and reaction mechanisms. The topics will include in-depth study of properties, nomenclature and mechanisms of alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, alkyl halides, alcohols and ethers. Various types of isomerism and stereochemistry will be explored in both the classes of organic compounds and the reactions these compounds undergo. Different types of spectroscopy will be explored. Prerequisite: CH 100 or equivalent. CH 302 Organic Chemistry II.....................................................................................................3 Lecture/3 Lab/4 Credits This course is a continuation of CH 301. The structures and reactions of conjugated and aromatic systems will be explored. The addition of functional groups such as ketones, aldehydes amines, carboxylic acids and nitrogen based substituent groups. Prerequisite: CH 301. CH 401 Biochemistry.............................................................................................................................................3 Credits A one semester lecture course which provides an introduction to the structure, properties, reactions and metabolism of biomolecules. Prerequisite: CH 302 or equivalent.
