CHMT (Chemical Technology)

CHMT 1120 - Chemical Technology I - 6 Credits

This course is an introduction to basic concepts in chemistry. The course covers chemical properties, identification and separation of substances, atomic and molecular structure, elements and compounds, liquids and solutions; the periodic table and the naming of inorganic. Students will use a variety of instruments including the gas chromatograph, manometers, analytical balances and visible spectrophotometers. Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 8 hours

CHMT 1220 - Chemical Technology II - 6 Credits

This course is a continuation of Chemical Technology I and covers acid-base chemistry, equilibrium, qualitative and quantitative analysis. (Prerequisite: CHMT 1120 or its equivalent) Lecture: 2 hours, Lab: 8 hours

CHMT 2320 - Chemical Technology III - 10 Credits

This course is a continuation of Chemical Technology II and covers an introduction to organic chemistry via a study of organic functional groups, classification of organic compounds using wet and instrumental methods and organic reactions. It will also focus on infrared spectrophotometry separation methods, including gas chromotography and high pressure liquid chromotography (Prerequisite: CHMT 1220 or its equivalent) Lecture: 4 hours, Lab: 12 hours

CHMT 2420 - Chemical Technology IV - 8 Credits

This course is a continuation of Chemical Technology III and covers the nature of reversible processes, equilibrium constants, solute and solvent systems and the kinetics of chemical reactions. Instrumental methods used include atomic absorption, emission spectroscopy, ultraviolet and NMR spectroscopy. The course concludes with a variety of special methods and student projects. (Prerequisite: CHMT 2320 or its equivalent) Lecture: 4 hours, Lab: 8 hours
