General Chemistry II
Course Description
General Chemistry II
In this course, we will cover introductory chemistry topics including chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acid-base equilibria, chemical thermodynamics, and electrochemistry. Lab work includes inorganic synthesis, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis in kinetics, acid-base and redox chemistry. Students may only enroll in this course if they have previously taken and passed CHEM 0103. This course will be offered for the last time in Spring 2026. (CHEM 0103) 3 hrs. lect., 3 hrs. lab.

Advanced General Chemistry
Course Description
Advanced General Chemistry
This course is a one-semester alternative to one year of general chemistry (CHEM 0103 and CHEM 0104). It is open to all students who have received a 4 or 5 on the Advanced Placement test in Chemistry. Students who have two or more years of high school chemistry without AP credit may enroll with permission of the instructor. Topics will be drawn from the traditional general chemistry curriculum, but discussed in greater detail with a more thorough mathematical treatment. Special emphasis will be placed on chemical bonding, coordination chemistry, and real world research in chemistry. (AP Chemistry or equivalent.) 3 hrs. lect., 3 hrs. lab, 1 hr dis. .

Foundations of Analytical Chem
Course Description
Foundations of Analytical Chemistry
In this course we will introduce fundamental concepts of analytical chemistry. Topics will include the tools and vocabulary of analytical chemistry, data evaluation, method standardization, sources of error, sample collection and preparation, chemical equilibrium, and titrations. The laboratory component of this course will give students hands-on experience with the tools and techniques in analytical chemistry, including using analytical glassware, calibration and experimental design, data handling and visualization, lab report generation, and keeping a scientific notebook. Lab projects will incorporate UV/Vis, titration, separation, and electrochemical methods for chemical, biomedical, and/or environmental applications. (CHEM 0104 or CHEM 0105 or CHEM 0107) 3 hr. lect., 3 hr. lab.
