CHEM 1033 — Introduction to Organic and Biochemistry
Prerequisite: CHEM 1004 General Chemistry I & Lab with a “C” of better Emphasis on applications to body functions. The student will gain an understanding and study applications to living organisms in the areas of radioactivity, hydrocarbons, organic compounds containing oxygen and nitrogen, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids and pathways of metabolism, and enzymes, vitamins, and hormones. ~CHEM 2004 General Chemistry II & Lab 4 credits Prerequisite: A grade of "C" or higher in CHEM 1004 or "C" or higher Continuation of principles, theories, and practices utilized in the general chemistry laboratory. Upon successful completion of this course, the student will have gained the following competencies: use safety practices in the laboratory; practice titration; evaluate dissociation constants; estimate solubility product constants; perform titrations; synthesize compounds; compare buffered and un- buffered solutions; develop knowledge of chemical equilibria; determine molar mass from freezing point; determine stoichiometry of reactions; estimate elemental content in a compound; analyze a given situation; determine methods to perform tests to identify unknown substances. Lab components will involve the study of liquids, solids, solutions, and the fundamentals of chemical kinetics, chemical equilibria, acids and bases, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry.
