Chemistry Minor

Topics covered include nomenclature, stoichio-metric relationships, atomic structure, bonding and states of matter. In addition, topics treated include chemical equilibria, free energy and entropy, acid-base reactions, oxidation reduction and electro-chemistry, complexions, reaction rates, radioactivity, and elementary concepts of organic chemistry. Laboratory work entails experiments illustrating the principles taught in lecture and qualitative analysis. Prerequisite for CPCN 102: MATN 120.

This course, designed for the non-Physics major, covers classical mechanics, heat, electricity, magnetism, and light, and sound phenomena. The approach is generally quantitative, but does not require calculus. Laboratory experiments illustrate and test the fundamental laws and the reliability of results. (Lecture and laboratory course.) Prerequisite: MATN 120.

Topics covered in this course include the quantitative analysis of inorganic compounds by volumetric, gravimetric, and calorimetric procedures. Emphasis is on the precision of instruments, estimation of error, attainment of accuracy, and development of sound laboratory technique. (Lecture and laboratory course.) Prerequisites: CPCN 101-102.

CPCN 421: A complete introduction to physical chemistry: the properties of gases, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, electrochemistry, theory of solutions, quantum theory, and wave mechanics. Corequisite: MATN 201.

CPCN 481: Credits by arrangement.

A continuation and amplification of the topics considered in 201-202. Among the subjects discussed are the uses of spectroscopy in structure determination, organic reaction mechanisms, and synthetic methods. Prerequisites: CPCN 201-202.

Emphasis on the chemical descriptions of the basic biological systems such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Aspects dealt with are structure, metabolism, functions in the cell, and control mechanisms.
