CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 199
Ch. 13 a, b, c. Inorganic Chemistry. 6 units (2-0-4), first and second
terms; 4 units (2-0-4), third term.
Prerequisite: Ch. 12 b, 21 a, b.
The chemical and physical properties of the elements are discussed with reference
to the periodic system and from the view-points of atomic structure and radiation
effects. Such topic. as coordination compounds, the liquid ammonia system, the
compounds of nitrogen, the halides, and selected groups of metals are taken up in
some detail. The class work is supplemented by problems which require a study of
current literature.
Instructor : Yost.
Ch. 16. Instrumental Analysis. 8 units (0-6-2); first term.
Prerequisite: Ch. 12 c.
Laboratory practice designed to familiarize the student with special analytical
apparatus and methods, used both for process control and for research.
Text: Instrumental Methods of Chemical Analysis, Lacey.
Instructors: Wilson and Teaching Fellows.
Ch. 21 a, b, c. Chemical Principles. 10 units (4-0-6), first, second, and
third terms.
Prerequisites: Ch. 12 b; Ph. 2 a, b, c, d; Ma. 2 a, b, c, d.
Conferences and recitations dealing with the general principles of chemistry
from an exact, quantitative standpoint, and including studies on the elements of
thermodynamics; the pressure-volume relations of gases; on vapor-pressure, boiling
point, freezing point, and osmotic pressure of solutions; on the molecular and ionic
theories; on electrical transference and conduction; on chemical and phase equilibria;
on thermochemistry, and the elements of thermodynamic chemistry and of electrochemistry.
A large number of problems are assigned to be solved by the student.
Text: Chemical Principles, Noyes and Sherrill.
Instructor: Bates.
Ch. 22. Thermodynamic Chemistry. 9 units (3-0-6); second term.
A continuation of subject Ch. 21, given in much the same way. The topics
considered include a further study of electrochemistry and thermodynamic chemistry.
Practice is given in the computation of free energies, activities and entropies
of typical substances.
Text: Chemical Principles, Noyes and Sherrill.
Instructor: Bates.
Ch. 23 a, b, c. Chemical Principles. 10 units (4-0-6); first, second, and
third terms.
Prerequisites: Ch. 11 or Ch. 12 b; Ph. 2 a, b, c, d; Ma. 2 a, b, c, d.
A selection of topics from Ch. 2 I a, b, c, and from Ch. 22 adapted to the
needs of Science Course students in the Physics and Biology Options.
Text: Chemical Principles, Noyes and Sherrill.
Instructor: Dickinson.
Ch. 24 a, b. Physical Chemistry. 10 units (4-0-6); first and second terms.
Prerequisites: Ch. 12 a,b; Ma. 2 a, b; Ph. 2 a, b, c, d.
A discussion of selected topics in physical chemistry, adapted to the needs of
Science Course students in the Geology Option.
Text: Physical Chemistry for Col/eges, Millard.
