CHEM 1303 (3). GENERAL CHEMISTRY. Designed primarily for science majors, premed stu- dents, and engineering students. Offers an introduction to the fundamental principles and theo- ries of chemistry, including stoichiometry, the structure of matter, energy relationships involved in the transformation of matter, the dynamics of such transformations, and some descriptive chemistry of the important elements. It is a prerequisite to all advanced courses in the depart- ment. Withdrawal from CHEM 1303, 1304 requires withdrawal from corresponding labs.
CHEM 1304 (3). GENERAL CHEMISTRY. Primarily for science majors or premed or engineer- ing students. Introduces the fundamental principles and theories of chemistry, including stoichiometry, the structure of matter, energy relationships involved in the transformation of matter, the dynamics of such transformations, and some descriptive chemistry of the important elements. Prerequisite to all advanced courses in the department. Prerequisite: CHEM 1303 or equivalent. Withdrawal from CHEM 1303, 1304 requires withdrawal from corresponding labs.
CHEM 3117 (1). ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LAB. One three-hour laboratory period each week.
Pre or Corequisite: CHEM 3371.
CHEM 3351 (3). QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS. A course involving the theory and practice of quantitative analytical chemistry techniques including gravimetric, volumetric, electrochemical, and spectroscopic analyses. Three hours of lecture and two four-hour laboratory periods per week for one-half term. Prerequisites: CHEM 1303, 1304, 1113, 1114.
CHEM 3371 (3). ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. Designed to satisfy the requirements of the chemistry major and health-related professions student. The first term deals primarily with aliphatic chemistry with special emphasis on stereochemistry. The second term emphasizes aromatic substances and the chemistry of biologically relevant molecules. Prerequisites: CHEM
1303, 1304, 1113, 1114.
