Chemistry Minor

Introduction to the double-entry system of debits and credits, journal entries and general ledger accounts, steps leading up to financial statement preparation and format of financial statements. Also included are studies of merchandising companies and determination of inventory balances and cost of goods sold, and an introduction to the accounting treatment of various assets and liabilities. US accounting standards (GAAP) are contrasted with international standards (IFRS).

Topics covered include nomenclature, stoichio-metric relationships, atomic structure, bonding and states of matter. In addition, topics treated include chemical equilibria, free energy and entropy, acid-base reactions, oxidation reduction and electro-chemistry, complexions, reaction rates, radioactivity, and elementary concepts of organic chemistry. Laboratory work entails experiments illustrating the principles taught in lecture and qualitative analysis. Prerequisite for CPCN 102: MATN 120.

Subjects covered include reactions, synthetic procedures, and methods for differentiation and identification. Mechanisms of reactions, stereochemistry and spectroscopy are emphasized. Details of the characteristics of aliphatic, and aromatic compounds with different functional groups are stressed. Laboratory work includes the methodology of 126 synthetic and analytic procedures. (Lecture and laboratory course.) Prerequisites: CPCN 101-102.

(Lecture and laboratory course.) Prerequisites: CPCN 101-102.

Topics covered in this course include the quantitative analysis of inorganic compounds by volumetric, gravimetric, and calorimetric procedures. Emphasis is on the precision of instruments, estimation of error, attainment of accuracy, and development of sound laboratory techniques. (Lecture and laboratory course.) Prerequisites: CPCN 101-102.

A continuation and amplification of the topics considered in 201-202. Among the subjects discussed are the uses of spectroscopy in structure determination, organic reaction mechanisms, and synthetic methods. Prerequisites: CPCN 201-202.

A complete introduction to physical chemistry: the properties of gases, thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, electrochemistry, theory of solutions, quantum theory, and wave mechanics. Corequisite: MATN 201.

Prerequisite: Senior status or departmental permission.

This course, designed for the non-Physics major, covers classical mechanics, heat, electricity, magnetism, and light, and sound phenomena. The approach is generally quantitative, but does not require calculus. Laboratory experiments illustrate and test the fundamental laws and the reliability of results. (Lecture and laboratory course.)
