Physical Chemistry I Laboratory (CHEM 445)
Chemistry 441 is the first course in a two semester physical chemistry sequence. It provides a background in fundamental chemical thermodynamics. Topics explored include equilibria, gas laws, thermochemistry, electrochemistry, and material properties. Chemistry 441 is a three credit course with three hours of lecture with no laboratory. Chemistry 101 is the first course in a two-semester general chemistry sequence that introduces fundamental experimental and theoretical chemistry. The course emphasizes problem solving, and algebra competence (demonstrated by University-administered placement testing or completion of a college algebra course) is prerequisite.
Biochemistry I builds the foundation for studying the metabolic processes of living things. We begin with fundamental chemical and biological processes and structures and progress through kinetics and mechanisms of catalysis and oxygen binding . We study the structure of key macromolecules, including proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. Finally, we learn about the means by which cells talk to each other, controlling the processes that are important for growth and reproduction at the cellular level.
