General Chemistry with Lab—Accelerated. Mr. Johal. Accelerated introductory course for
well-prepared students. Ionic equilibrium, atomic structure, molecular bonding
and structure, chemical thermodynamics and chemical kinetics. Laboratory work
emphasizes quantitative analytical and instrumental techniques and molecular
modeling. Interactive computing is an integral part of the course.
Prerequisite: two or more years of high school chemistry and a passing score on
the placement examination. Each Fall.
158B.
Physical Chemistry. Mr. Johal. Study
of chemical thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, molecular spectroscopy and molecular
modeling. Prerequisite: 1A,B or 51; PHYS 51A,B; MATH 31. Each Spring.
161.
Advanced Analytical Chemistry and Laboratory. Mr. Taylor, Mr. Johal, Mr. Arora. Study of modern instrumental
methods of analysis with emphasis on spectroscopic, separation and
electro-analytical methods. Laboratory experience includes work with
many of these modern instrumental methods and an examination of the analysis of
variance. Prerequisite: 110A. Each Fall.
162.
Advanced Physical Chemistry with Laboratory. Mr. Garza-López, Mr. Johal, Mr.
Arora, Ms. Yu. Advanced
physical chemistry topics chosen from the areas of statistical thermodynamics,
group theory, chemical kinetics, molecular modeling and solid state chemistry.
Laboratory emphasis on modern instrumental methods, including molecular
spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance, chemical
kinetics and gas-phase adsorption. Prerequisite: 158A. Each Spring.
185. Soft Nanomaterials. Mr. Johal. This course is
concerned with the self-assembly of functional materials at the nano-scale. The
first half of the course will cover the fundamentals of surface chemistry,
monolayer formation and the chemistry of colloidal systems. The second half
will highlight nano-fabrication methods used to assemble complex nanomaterials
for applications in biophotonics, chemical sensing, optics and electronics.
Current developments from the chemical literature will be underscored whenever
possible. Prerequisite: 110A,B; MATH 31; PHYS 51A,B. Spring 2009.
