Course Descriptions
25. Introductory Chemical Principles: An introduction to important topics in chemistry: atomic structure, properties of matter, chemical reactions, energy, structure and bonding in organic and inorganic compounds, chemical equilibrium. The course features a lecture tightly linked to a three-hour studio experience that combines laboratory work and recitation. NS
31. Chemical Equilibria in Aqueous Systems: A study of the theoretical basis and practical applications of equilibria in aqueous solutions, including acid-base, precipitation-solubility, metal-ligand, oxidation-reduction and distribution equilibria. Introduction to chemical thermodynamics, spectrophotometry, potentiometry and chromatography. The laboratory work emphasizes the qualitative and quantitative analysis of equilibria in aqueous media. Prerequisite: CHM 25, MATH 21, 31 or 51. Two lectures and one three-hour laboratory period. NS
51. Organic Chemistry I: Systematic survey of the typical compounds of carbon, their classification, and general relations; study of synthetic reactions. Prerequisite: CHM 25 or 75 . NS
52. Organic Chemistry II: Continuation of CHM 51. Prerequisite: CHM 51. NS
