340-341-342: Applied Chemistry:

8:30-9:30, M. W. F.

Chemistry 309-310-311 or 312-313-314 and 321-322-323 prerequisite.

The lectures and recitations in this course are devoted to the study of fundamental
principles underlying the more important phases of industrial chemistry,
including both theoretical and economic problems. A considerable amount of
collateral reading in descriptive industrial chemistry is assigned, and written
reports involving use of the literature are required. Better appreciation of the
quantitative relationships existing in the applications of chemistry is gained
through problem work paralleling the lecture material. A number of plant inspection
trips are arranged during the year. Lectures and recitations, 3 hours
a week. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)

Textbooks: Badger and Baker: Inorganic Chemical Technology; Lewis and
Radasch: Industrial Stoichiometry; Riegel: Industrial Chemistry.
