176 2018-2019 Catalog Chemistry 1B GENERAL CHEMISTRY AND QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS 5 units, 3 lecture hours, 6 lab hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1A and Mathematics 103. ADVISORIES: English 1A. This course completes the year long general chemistry sequence (1A-1B) and covers the principles of physical and inorganic chemistry with an emphasis on quantitative, mathematical problem solving. Topics covered include acid-base theory, chemical kinetics, equilibrium (acid-base, hydrolysis, and solubility), chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry, selected topics in nuclear chemistry, coordination chemistry, and/or chemistry of selected groups. Students will analyze inorganic compounds qualitatively and quantitatively. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) (C-ID CHEM 120S: CHEM 1A & CHEM 1B) 3A INTRODUCTORY GENERAL CHEMISTRY 4 units, 3 lecture hours, 3 lab hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Mathematics 103. ADVISORIES: English 1A and Chemistry 10 or high school chemistry. This is a survey course in the principles of inorganic chemistry covering the composition of matter, physical and chemical changes, atomic and molecular structure, inorganic nomenclature, chemical formula and reaction calculations, gas laws, bonding, solutions, net-ionic equations, acid-base theories, pH, oxidation-reduction reactions, thermodynamics, nuclear chemistry and equilibrium. The course emphasizes problem solving and chemical calculations. Both qualitative and quantitative theory and techniques will be covered. It is intended for applied science and non-science majors or for students preparing to take Chemistry 1A. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) (C-ID CHEM 101) 3B INTRODUCTORY ORGANIC AND BIOLOGICAL CHEMISTRY 4 units, 3 lecture hours, 3 lab hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1A or 3A or equivalent. ADVISORIES: English 1A. Introduction to the basic concepts of organic and biological chemistry. A study of the structure and behavior of organic and biochemical compounds, including metabolism, and regulation. Topics such as bonding, saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons, the chemistry of organic functional groups, and the properties of important biological compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are covered. Primarily for students in health oriented professions. (A, CSU-GE, UC) 8 ELEMENTARY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY 3 units, 3 lecture hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1A or 3A. ADVISORIES: English 1A. A survey of the important classes of organic compounds with emphasis upon materials of interest to students in the biological sciences. This thorough introduction to organic chemistry is recommended for students who need to take Chemistry 28A or for biology majors, students in prehealth sciences or environmental sciences. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) 9 ELEMENTARY ORGANIC CHEMISTRY LABORATORY 3 units, 1 lecture hour, 6 lab hours, pass/no pass PREREQUISITES: Chemistry 1A or 3A. COREQUISITES: Chemistry 8. ADVISORIES: English 1A. Reactions and physical properties of the main functional groups of organic compounds such as alkanes, alkenes, alkylhalides, acids and esters. Students will work hands-on with a melting point apparatus, a refractometer, a gas-chromatograph, an infra-red spectrometer and a nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer. The course is designed to accompany an elementary organic chemistry lecture course such as Chemistry 8. This course, along with Chemistry 8, is a thorough preparation for the advanced organic chemistry courses, Chemistry 28A and 29A. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) 10 ELEMENTARY CHEMISTRY 4 units, 3 lecture hours, 3 lab hours, pass/no pass ADVISORIES: English 1A and Mathematics 103. This is a one-semester elementary class for students who have never taken high school chemistry. The course will give students a basic background in matter, energy, chemical reactions, measurements, formula writing, nomenclature, chemical calculations, gas laws, bonding, solutions, net-ionic equations, acid-base theory, pH, oxidation-reduction reactions and equilibrium. This course is recommended for applied science and non-science majors or for students preparing to take Chemistry 1A. (A, CSU-GE, UC, I) (C-ID CHEM 101)
