| CHEM-10 Chemistry for the 21st Century |
| CSU and UC | (3 units LEC) | |
| A non-mathematical survey of the major chemistry concepts for non-science majors with an emphasis on 21st century issues. Students will learn to connect observations of the natural world to the molecular level, creating a framework for topics such as global warming and renewable energy. |
|
|
| Recommended Prep: ENGL-150 |
|
| CHEM-100 Preparation for General Chemistry |
| (4 units LEC) | |
| A brief introduction to the principles of chemistry and the application of mathematics to chemistry. CHEM-100 is intended to prepare students for General Chemistry (CHEM-1A) who did not take high school chemistry or whose prior chemistry is outdated. |
| Note: A scientific calculator is required. |
|
| Recommended Prep: MATH-380 |
|
| CHEM-152 Chemistry Tutorial Lab |
| (0.5-1 units LAB) | Repeatable to a maximum of four enrollments |
| Individualized practice and/or review skills necessary for success in a CHEM class. |
| Note: Units offered may vary by semester, consult Schedule of Classes for section information. |
|
|
|
| CHEM-1A General Chemistry |
| CSU and UC | (5 units LEC/LAB) | |
| The principles of chemistry for students in science, engineering, medical and related professions. Atomic structure, chemical bonding, stoichiometry, the periodic table, enthalpy, solutions, and carbon chemistry will be studied. Includes a coordinated laboratory experience focused on the study of physical and chemical properties. |
|
| Prerequisite: MATH-120 and either CHEM-100 or high school chemistry |
|
|
| CHEM-1B General Chemistry |
| CSU and UC | (5 units LEC/LAB) | |
| A continuation of CHEM-1A. Bonding, intermolecular forces, solutions, kinetics, equilibria, acids and bases, reactions, thermodynamics, electrochemistry and the chemistry of the elements and their compounds will be studied. |
|
| Prerequisite: CHEM-1A |
|
|
| CHEM-2 Introduction to Chemistry |
| CSU and UC | (5 units LEC/LAB) | |
| An introduction to basic chemical principles. Serves as a beginning course for allied/applied science students including nursing, forestry, and natural resources fields. Students learn to classify matter and to describe physical and chemical phenomena such as atomic structure, compounds, energy, solutions, acids and bases, nuclear chemistry, and organic chemistry, both qualitatively and quantitatively, at an introductory level. Includes a coordinated lab experience. |
| Note: A scientific calculator is required. |
| Prerequisite: |
| Recommended Prep: MATH-380 |
|
| CHEM-3 Introduction to Organic Chemistry |
| CSU and UC | (4 units LEC/LAB) | |
| An introductory survey of organic compounds and biological macromolecules for allied/applied science students including nursing, forestry, and natural resources fields. Students learn to identify fundamental organic functional groups and to distinguish between their physical and chemical properties. Students also learn to identify fundamental biological macromolecules such as proteins, DNA, polysaccharides, and lipids and discuss their biological roles. |
|
| Prerequisite: CHEM-2 |
|
|
| CHEM-52 Chemistry Practicum |
| CSU | (0.5-1 units LAB) | Repeatable to a maximum of four enrollments |
| A review of chemistry topics for students enrolled in any transfer-level chemistry course. This lab will provide individualized instruction in a self-paced lab environment. Course specific work will be assigned. This course is designed to support CHEM 1A, 1B, 2, 3, and 8. |
|
|
|
|
| CHEM-8 Organic Chemistry |
| CSU and UC | (5 units LEC/LAB) | |
| A survey of important classes of organic compounds with emphasis on materials of interest to students of the biological sciences, pre-professional programs and related areas. The laboratory work introduces the fundamental techniques using both macro and micro scale equipment for the purification, synthesis and identification of organic compounds, while illustrating the basic chemistry of the functional groups. This was designed to contain content equivalent to brief (one semester) organic chemistry courses taught at four-year colleges. This course is accepted at HSU in place CHEM-328. Biological science majors should take CHEM-8 to complete their chemistry requirements. |
