CHEM 301 - Quantitative Analysis
4 hours
A careful study of gravimetric and volumetric analysis with special attention given to sources of error, to calibration of instruments and apparatus, and to other important details in the improvement of laboratory technique. Volumetric analyses give experience in acid base, precipitation, complexation, and reduction-oxidation chemistry. Equilibria governing each type of volumetric analysis are studied. Problem-solving skills are developed. Instrumentation is introduced as a tool for use in analytical chemistry. Required for a major in Chemistry. Offered spring of odd years. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 104 . Three lecture periods and two laboratory periods. UG

Only some of the important classes of organic compounds are covered, with remaining classes covered in CHEM 312 . The laboratory experience includes determination of physical and chemical properties, separation, isolation, purification, synthesis, and analysis of organic compounds. Required for a major in Chemistry. Offered every fall. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 101 or CHEM 103 , and CHEM 104 . Three lecture periods and two laboratory periods. UG

CHEM 340 - Drug Chemistry
3 hours
From the viewpoint of organic chemistry, this course is a study of how the human body acts upon drug molecules, and how they act upon the body. The structures of various organic drug molecules are presented and discussed in relation to their pharmacological activities, many of which are common “drugs of abuse.” For the latter, the organic chemical structures of several drugs of intervention against addiction are presented and discussed, along with a discussion of how they achieve the intervention. Offered fall of even years. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 311 . CHEM 312 is recommended. Three lecture periods. UG
