300-301-302. General Chemistry. [Bird.]
9-10, 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. Laboratory
6 h. a. w.
303-304-305. Physical Chemistry.
12-1, T. Th. S.
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. Laboratory 9 h. a. w.
309-310-311. Organic Chemistry. [Venable.]
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. Laboratory 6 h. a. w.
330-331-332. Junior Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington.]
9-10, 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. Laboratory
6 h. a. w.
333-334-335. Senior Analytical Chemistry. [Dunnington.]
9-10, 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. Laboratory 9 h. a. w.
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.
