PACHE320. Organic Chem. I, w. Lab
This course will begin with a review of some of the important concepts established in inorganic chemistry. The chemistry of carbon will be distinguished from other elements. The various classes of aliphatic and aromatic compounds will be examined. The diversity of functional groups will be explored with regard to reactivity and mechanism. Nucleophilic and electrophilic reaction mechanisms will be stressed. Stereochemistry will emphasize the three-dimensional aspect that the carbon backbone confers upon macromolecules. Concepts of hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity included. Includes Lab.
PACHE321. Organic Chem. II, w. Lab
This course further elaborates functional groups with emphasis on alcohols, phenols, ethers, aldehydes, ketones, amides, esters, amines, and carboxylic acids. Once the nature and reactivity of these functional groups is understood, the more important biological examples will be stressed and elaborated. Biochemistry, particularly the properties and metabolism of biological macromolecules such as nucleic acids, lipids, and proteins, will be introduced. Integral laboratory sessions demonstrate techniques used in organic chemistry.
PACHE340. Environmental Chemistry
Description of the concepts, principles, practices, and current problems in the chemistry of natural waters, the soil, and the atmosphere.
PACHE341. Env. Chemistry Lab
Collection and analysis of air, water, soil, and organisms for pollutants such as noxious gases, heavy metals, and trace organics. EPA approved methods are emphasized. (must be completed with PACHEN340)
PACHE351. Intro to Industrial Chem
An introduction to the life of an industrial chemist, from the various technologies involved to government regulations, marketing and management. The course will begin with a brief history of the chemical industry.
