Chemistry

  
  • CHEM 1405 (T) - Introductory Chemistry I (lecture + lab)

    Semester Credit Hour(s): 4 Lecture Hour(s) Each Week: 3 Lab Hour(s) Each Week: 3
    Survey course introducing chemistry. Topics may include inorganic, organic, biochemistry, food/physiological chemistry, and environmental/consumer chemistry. Designed for allied health students and for students who are not science majors. Introductory topics in chemistry are covered from a largely conceptual point of view. This course meets a four-hour lab-science requirement for non-science majors
    Prerequisite(s): TSI-complete in writing and reading (ELAR)
    When Offered: F, Sp, Su Coordinating Board Approval Number: 4005015103
  
  • CHEM 1406 (T) - Introductory Chemistry I (lecture + lab, allied health emphasis)

    Semester Credit Hour(s): 4 Lecture Hour(s) Each Week: 3 Lab Hour(s) Each Week: 3
    Survey course introducing chemistry. Topics may include inorganic, organic, biochemistry, food/physiological chemistry, and environmental/consumer chemistry. Designed for allied health students and for students who are not science majors. Specific topics covered will include measurement and unit conversion, atomic and molecular structure of matter, chemical reactions, solutions, acid/base chemistry, nuclear chemistry, thermochemistry, organic chemistry and structure of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Basic laboratory experiments supporting theoretical principles presented in lecture will be included. This class will satisfy prerequisites for Health Science courses as well as fulfill 4 hours of General Education laboratory science.
