University of Virginia Library

For Undergraduates and Graduates.

Chemistry C1: Physical Chemistry: Chemistry B1 and Analytical
Chemistry B1, or the equivalent, prerequisite.—Some knowledge of the
Calculus is required, and previous work in Physics is desirable. This
course will include work upon such topics as the gas laws, kinetic theory
of gases, the properties of dilute solutions, osmotic pressure, the determination
of molecular weights, mass action, reaction velocity and equilibrium,
electrolysis and electrolytic dissociation, the phase rule, etc. The
laboratory work will consist of a thorough course in physico-chemical
methods, including the measurement of electrolytic conductivity, electromotive
force, etc. Toward the end of the course the student will be
required to do a limited amount of research on some chemical problem
suggested by the instructor. Hours by appointment. Associate Professor
Edgar.

Chemistry C2: Advanced Organic Chemistry: Chemistry B1 and B2,
or the equivalent, prerequisite.—The work of the first term consists of
lectures and recitations on the History of Chemical Development and
Theory, with laboratory work illustrative of fundamental chemical laws.

The second and third terms consist of lectures, laboratory work, etc.,
on advanced Organic Chemistry, making use of the most recent and comprehensive
treatises on this subject. During the third term the student
will be required to do a limited amount of research on some subject suggested
by the instructor. Hours by appointment. Associate Professor
Edgar.
