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. Towar
the end of the course the student may be required to do a limited amount
of research on some chemical problem suggested by the instructor. Hours
by appointment. Organic Laboratory. Associate Professor Edgar.

Chemistry C2: Advanced Organic Chemistry: Chemistry B1 and B2, or
the equivalent, prerequisite.—During the first term some time will be devoted
to a review of the historical development of the subject, with special attention

to fundamental theories. Parallel reading will be assigned. The remainder
of the year will be devoted to an intimate study of one or more of
the special phases of Organic Chemistry, such as Dyes and Indicators, Carbohydrates,
Terpenes, Polymethylenes, Coal Tar Products, etc. Reading
from the scientific journals and reference books will be assigned.

The laboratory work will consist of the more difficult organic preparations,
partially adapted to the topics under discussion in the lectures, special
attention being given to a quantitative study of the reactions. Hours by appointment.
Organic Laboratory. Dr. Pratt.
