Majors Intermediate Chem Lab

2 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Chem 1405 is designed to build upon prior lab experience in Chem 1305. In this Intermediate Chemistry Lab course, students majoring in chemistry and biochemistry hone and refine their lab skills and technique. Higher standards are set as students are expected to be more independent in the lab and utilize previously learned concepts and techniques. This course delves into important topics such as chemical equilibria and reaction properties. Experiments in this course include colligative properties, electrochemistry, kinetics, and coordination chemistry. Students build upon their scientific writing skills from CHEM 1305 and complete formal reports. Recitation is a critical part of the course experience. During recitations students have the opportunity to engage with lecture material in a small class setting, ask questions and learn about the experiment of the week. There are weekly quizzes and assignments submitted during recitation. Two hours of recitation and one three-hour laboratory per week. Concurrent: - CHEM 1400 . Spring. Pre-requisites: Chem 1305 and Chem 1300.
