Chemistry & Biochemistry Laboratory Courses
LOWER DIVISION
4. Basic Chemistry (4)
Chemistry 4 is a one-quarter course for science majors with insufficient preparation to start the Chem. 6 sequence. Emphasis is on learning how to solve quantitative problems. Topics include: nomenclature, stoichiometry and the periodic table. Cannot be taken for credit after any other chemistry course. Includes a combined laboratory and discussion-recitation each week. Prerequisite: Math. 4C. Cannot be taken for credit after any other chemistry course. (F,W)6BL. Introductory Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (3)
Introduction to experimental procedures used in synthetic, analytical and physical chemistry. If Chem. 6BL is required for your major, it should be taken concurrently with Chem. 6B or 6C. (F,W,S)6CL. Introductory Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (4)
A laboratory course with emphasis on safe, accurate and precise experimental techniques in chemistry, including quantitative analysis and instrumental methods; usually taken concurrently with Chem. 6C, but required for only certain majors. Prerequisite: Chem. 6BL. (F,W,S)
UPPER DIVISION
105A. Physical Chemistry Laboratory (5)
Laboratory course in experimental physical chemistry. Prerequisites: Chem. 6CL and Phys. 2CL or equivalent, Chem. 131 or 133 or 126 or 127. (F,W,S)105B. Physical Chemistry Laboratory (4)
Laboratory course in experimental physical chemistry. Prerequisites: Chem. 105A and 133. (F,W,S)106.Instrumental Analysis Laboratory (4)
Instrumental methods for analytical chemistry emphasizing physical principles underlying both the instruments and the analytical methods. Prerequisites: Chem. 105A. (W)112A. Molecular Biochemistry Laboratory (6)
The application of techniques, including electrophoresis, peptide mapping and sequencing, affinity chromatography, amino acid analysis, gas-liquid chromatography, enzyme functions and the chemistry of lipids, carbohydrates and nucleic acids. Prerequisites: Chem. 141A-B-C, 143A-B, 114A-B. Some of these courses may be taken concurrently. (NOTE: Students may not receive credit for both Chem. 112A and BIBC 10112B. Molecular Biochemistry Laboratory (6)
This laboratory will introduce the students to the tools of molecular biology and will involve experiments with recombinant DNA techniques. Prerequisites: Chem. 141A-B, 114C (may be taken concurrently); Chem. 143A and 143B. (NOTE: Students may not receive credit for both Chem. 112B and BIMM 101.123. Advanced Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory (4)
Synthesis, analysis and physical characterization of inorganic chemical compounds. Prerequisites: Chem. 120A, 123B, 143A and 143B. (S)143A. Organic Chemistry Laboratory (4)
Introduction to laboratory techniques needed in organic chemistry. Stresses physical methods including separation and purification, spectroscopy, product analysis and effects of reaction conditions. Prerequisites: Chem. 6BL, Chem. 141A or Chem. 140A. (NOTE: Students may not receive credit for both Chem. 143A and Chem. 143AM.) (F,W,S)143AM. Majors Organic Chemistry Laboratory (4)
An organic chemistry laboratory intended for chemistry majors only; similar to Chem. 143A, but with emphasis on instrumental methods of product identification, separation and analysis. Prerequisites: Chem. 6BL, Chem. 141A. (NOTE: Students may not receive credit for both Chem. 143AM and Chem. 143A.) (W)143B. Organic Chemistry Laboratory (4)
Continuation of 143AM or 143A, emphasizing synthetic methods of organic chemistry for chemistry majors only. Prerequisites: Chem. 143A; 141B or 140B (may be taken concurrently). (W,S)143C. Organic Laboratory (5)
Identification of unknown organic compounds by a combination of chemical and physical techniques for chemistry majors only. Prerequisites: Chem. 6CL, 143A, 141C (may be taken concurrently). (F)
