Chemistry 3 builds on the principles covered in the prior courses of the chemistry sequence and takes a detailed look at reaction mechanisms and how they are studied. Beginning with chemical kinetics, we will spend time examining how mechanisms of several classes of organic reactions are thought to proceed, what evidence supports those theories, and how alternative hypotheses

Chemistry 3 focuses on how reactions happen: what the steps are, how we discover them, and how we use this to look at some practical systems: the synthesis of a drug, the kinetics of substitution. Emphasis will be using the general principles such as nucleophiles and electrophiles, to guide an understanding of specific reactions. Lab will focus on several clusters of

Chemistry 3 focuses on the nature and pathways of organic reactions: what the steps are, how we experimentally determine them, and how we can use them to solve practical problems, such as the synthesis of a drug, or understanding the action of an enzyme. Emphasis will be using the general principles of nucleo- and and electrophilicity to provide a logical framework for

Students will synthesize and characterize compounds using NMR, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopy. Students will be called upon to develop their own labs to explore chemical ideas of their interest.

This laboratory course is a co-requisite for Chemistry 3. Lab topics will likely include organic reactions such as subsitution, elimination and addition processes, chemical kinetics, and electrochemistry. Students will also have an opportunity to perform exploratory investigations to help design an independent research project to be carried out during Spring term.

The lab will allow students to apply what they learn in class to experimental questions. They will synthesize and characterize compounds using NMR, IR, and UV-vis spectroscopy and explore experimental design by developing labs based on kinetics and substitutions as well as explore "green" synthesis options for experiments. Corequisite: Chemistry 3

Part of the Chemistry 1-4 suite, this will examine the energetics of chemical changes. Focusing on the enthalpic and entropic contributions to free energy change, we will examine how energy or work can be extracted from chemical systems and how these systems behave as they tend toward equilibrium. Types of equilibria to be covered will include acid/base, solubility, phase

This course represents the culmination of the two-year integrated general/organic chemistry sequence and will introduce special topics that go beyond those traditionally covered in those courses. Material presented will focus on functional materials such as semiconductors and structures involved in energy transfer and storage. Topics such as electrochemistry, molecular orbital

Students will apply the principles of Chemistry 1, 2, and 3 to the execution of substantive research projects of their own design. They will also be responsible for independently analyzing their data and publicly presenting their findings. Enrollment is limited to those students who have had a project proposal approved as part of Chemistry 3.

The final course in the Chemistry 1-4 sequence will examine the energetics of chemical changes. Focusing on the enthalpic and entropic contributions to free energy change, we will examine how energy or work can be extracted from chemical systems and how these systems behave as they tend toward equilibrium. The energetics of electron transfer reactions will be examined along

Chemicals often get a bad rap, from headlines warning of "toxic chemicals" to marketing labels that boast "chemical-free or all natural" products. But what are we really afraid of? In this course, we’ll use chemophobia as a starting point to explore the fundamental principles of chemistry. Why do certain substances evoke fear, and are those fears grounded in science? Through

What does it mean to be Chicana/o/x, Latina/o/x, Hispanic, Spanish, or Mexican American in the United States? How has the history of Chicanismo shaped this country? This course will investigate the many complex answers to these questions. I will rely on each of you to have an open mind and use critical thinking to engage with the histories, stories, and texts in Chicanx
