CHEMISTRY.
300-301-302. General Chemistry. [Bird.]
10-11, T. Th. S.
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. The time is mainly devoted to
inorganic phenomena. No previous study of chemistry is demanded. (Fall,
Winter, Spring.)
309-310-311. Organic Chemistry. [Edgar and Pratt.]
9-10, M. W. F.
This course is intended to serve as an introduction to the general subject
of organic chemistry, including chemical synthesis and the theories
of molecular structure, as applied to the compounds of carbon. General
Chemistry prerequisite. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
330-331-332. Analytical Chemistry B. [Dunnington.]
10-11, T. Th. S.
First term: Chemical manipulation and blowpipe analysis. Second
term: Inorganic qualitative analysis of ores of lead, gold and silver.
Third term: Practice in the analysis of salts, alloys and ores, and the
examination of potable water, coal, limestone, clay and so on, including simple
quantitative determinations. Weekly written exercises are required.
(Fall, Winter, Spring.)
333-334-335. Analytical Chemistry C. [Dunnington.]
10-11, M. W. F.
After some training in manipulation and gravimetric estimations, the
class pursues volumetric estimations and a full course in quantitative
analysis of minerals, ores, coal, soil, iron and steel, technical products, and
so on. Weekly written exercises are required. As the student advances in
the course he is encouraged to undertake original research and assist in its
prosecution. (Fall, Winter, Spring.)
336-337-338. Industrial Chemistry. [Dunnington.]
3-4:30, M. W. F.
Fall term: Metallurgy and uses of iron, steel, copper and all the other
important metals; manufacture of pottery, brick, lime, cement and explosives.
Winter term: Manufacture of acids, alkalies, salts, fertilizers
and glass; preparation of foods and waters. Spring term: Preparation of
corn products and flavorings; chemistry of dyeing, tanning, rubber, paints,
disinfectants, lighting, heating and refrigeration. Weekly exercises in
chemical computations are required.
303-304-305. Physical Chemistry. [Edgar.]
11-12, M. W. F.
The calculus is required, and previous training in physics is desirable.
This course will include work upon such topics as the gas laws, the 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.
General Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry prerequisite. (Fall, Winter,
Spring.)
Laboratory Courses.
350-351-352. General Chemistry. [Bird and Instructors.]
12-2, T. Th. S.
359-360-361. Organic Chemistry. [Edgar and Pratt.]
2-4, M. W. F.
380-381-382. Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington and Instructor.]
9-10 and 12-2 T. Th. S.
383-384-385 Advanced Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington and Instructor.]
12 hours a week.
353-354-355. Physical Chemistry. [Edgar.]
9 hours a week.
The Chemical Journal Club meets every other Thursday from 11 a. m.
to 12 m., for the critical review and discussion of various topics of interest
in current chemical literature, and of such chemical researches as may be
in progress in the university.
Advanced courses are given in Organic Chemistry (C2), and in Inorganic
Chemistry (D1). These courses are described in the General Catalogue,
and are recommended to all students of Chemical Engineering who
desire to prepare for the prosecution of research work.
