CHEMISTRY AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 201
Ch. 50. Advanced Organic Laboratory. Units to be arranged; any term.
Laboratory practice in the synthesis of typical organic compounds.
Instructors: Buchman, Koepili, Lucas, Niemann, Zechmeister.
Ch. 61 a, b, c. Industrial Chemi.try. 6 unin (2-0-4). first and third
terms; 4 units (2-0-2), second term.
Prerequisite.: Ch. 21 a, b.
A study of the more important industrial chemical processes, from the point of
view not only of the chemical reactions, but of the conditions and equipment necessary
to carry on these reactions.
Text: Industrial Chemistry, Read.
Instructor: Wilson.
Ch. 62. Engineering Chemistry. 9 units (3-0-6); first term.
Prerequisite: Ch. 1 a, b, c.
Reading, discussion and problems dealing with the application of chemical principles
to engineering problems and the relations of engineering to the chemical
industries.
Text: Chemistry of Engineering Materials, Leigbou.
Instructor: Wilson.
Ch. 63 a, b, c. Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics. 6 units (2-0-4),
second, third, and first terms.
Prerequisite: Ch. 21 a.
Class exercises and problems in engineering thermodynamics studied from the
point of view of the chemical engineer.
Text: Thermodynamics of One-component Systems, Lacey and Sage.
Instructor: Lacey.
Ch. 80-86. Chemical Re.earch.
Opportunities for research are afforded to undergraduate students in all the
main branches in chemistry; thus, in analytical or inorganic chemistry (Ch. 80),
in physical chemistry (Ch. 82), in organic chemistry (Ch. 84), and in applied
chemistry (Ch. 86). Such research may be taken as electives by students in honor
standing in the sophomore and junior years; and every candidate for a degree in
the Chemistry Option is required to undertake in his senior year an experimental
investigation of a problem in chemistry. A thesis embodying the results and conclu­
.ions of this investigation must be submitted to the faculty not later than one week
before the degree is to be conferred.
FIFTH-YEAR AND ADVANCED SUBJECTS
Ch. 113 a, b. Inorganic Chemistry. 4 units; first and second terms.
Selected groups of inorganic compounds will be considered from modern physicochemical
view-points; thus with reference to their physical properties, their thermodynamic
constants (their heat-contents, free-energies, and entropies), their ratel of
conversion into one another (including effects of catalysis and energy radiations).
and their molecular structure and valence relations.
Instructor: Yost.
Ch. 122 a, b. Thermodynamic Chemistry. 6 units (2-0-4), first term; 9
units (3-0-6), second term.
This subject is open to students who have had a course in physical chemistry.
