For Undergraduates.
Course 1B: General Chemistry.—The fundamental principles and
phenomena, of inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry are discussed,
and the foundations of analytical chemistry are dealt with at appropriate
places. Most of the time is devoted to inorganic phenomena. No previous
study of chemistry is demanded. Section I, Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, 11-12; Section II, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 10-11. Laboratory,
6 hours a week. West Range Chemical Laboratory. Professor
Bird,
Adjunct Professor
Edgar, Mr.
Watson, Mr.
Patton, and assistants.
Students entering in January, with adequate preparation, will be
admitted to Chemistry 1B, above, and will receive full credit for the
course on completing the work of the first term at some subsequent time.
Course 2B: Organic and Physical Chemistry: Course 1B (or its
equivalent) prerequisite.—The first half of the year is devoted to the
study of Organic Chemistry. The lectures and recitations are intended to
serve as an introduction to the General Subject of Organic Chemistry,
including chemical synthesis and molecular structure as illustrated by
Carbon Compounds. In the laboratory one or more compounds, representative
of the more important classes of organic substances, will be
prepared and studied experimentally.
The second half of the year is devoted to physical chemistry. The
lectures, recitations and laboratory work will include such topics as the
gas laws and the kinetic theory of gases, the properties of dilute solutions,
osmetic pressure, methods for the determination of molecular
weights, mass action, reaction velocity and equilibrium, electrolysis and
electrolytic dissociation, affinity of acids, the phase rule, etc.
These two subjects, viz.: Organic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry,
under Course 2B, will count as one elective towards the B. A. or B. S.
degree. Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9-10. Laboratory. Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, 2-4. Chemical Laboratory. Professor Kastle, Adjunct Professor
Edgar.
