CHEM H302 LAB IN CHEMICAL STRUCTURE AND REACTIVITY (1.0 Credit)
Joseph Smith, Leah Seebald
Division: Natural Science
Domain(s): C: Physical and Natural Processes
Two lectures and two laboratory periods. An introduction to the methods of research in chemistry. Inorganic, organic, physical chemistry, and biochemical concepts are integrated in a broad laboratory study of structure and its relationship to chemical reactivity. Physical methods are used in studies of organic, inorganic, and biochemical reactions. Chemical synthesis and the modern methods of instrumental analytical chemistry are particularly stressed. Instruments such as lasers, the 500 MHz NMR spectrometer, and the mass spectrometer combined with either gas or liquid chromatography are used by students, with faculty supervision. Prerequisite(s): CHEM H225 and either CHEM H304, or CHEM H305 (which may be taken concurrently)
