Below is a list of courses offered by the department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of Colorado in the field of Analytical and Environmental Chemistry.
For an official description of the courses below please is referred to the current University of Colorado at Boulder Catalog. The following descriptions are more informal and are intended to supplement the catalog in helping students choose courses.
| CHEM 1011 (3) | Environmental Chemistry 1 |
This course is designed to fulfill a core science requirement for non-science majors in the College of Arts and Sciences (A&S), and especially fills the needs of such students in the Environmental Studies program. It has three lectures each week, and is taught in the fall semester. It is commonly followed by CHEM 1031. These courses are not intended for students who have already had a higher-level chemistry class and will not carry credit for such students. CU Catalog: CHEM 1011 |
|
| CHEM 1031 (4) | Environmental Chemistry 2 |
This course has three lectures and a two-hour lab each week, and is taught in the spring semester. It is a follow-up to CHEM 1011. The two courses together satisfy the sequence and laboratory portions of the A&S core requirement. CU Catalog: CHEM 1031 |
|
| CHEM 4181 (4) | Instrumental Analysis |
Two lectures and two three-hour labs per week, taught only in the spring semester. This is a course in analytical chemistry concentrating on instrumental methods for analysis. It is a required course for chemistry majors, and has a prerequisite of Physical Chemistry 1. It also satisfies the critical thinking requirement of the College of Arts and Sciences. CU Catalog: CHEM 4181 |
|
| CHEM 4901 (1-6) | Independent Study in Chemistry and Biochemistry |
This is a variable credit course and may be taken for one to six hours of credit. It is a controlled enrollment class, and prior arrangements must be made with a faculty mentor and the department before a student may enroll. It is highly recommended for students with a good record. For further details see the separate section on independent study. CU Catalog: CHEM 4901 |
|
| CHEM 5151 (3) | Atmospheric Chemistry |
Basic kinetics and photochemistry of atmospheric species. Stratospheric chemistry with emphasis on processes controlling ozone abundance. Tropospheric chemistry for using on photochemical smog, acid deposition, oxidative capacity of the atmosphere, and global climate change. Prerequisite: graduate standing or instructor consent. CU Catalog: CHEM 5151 |
|
| CHEM 5161 (3) | Analytical Spectroscopy |
Special topics in spectrochemical analysis, including atomic and molecular spectroscopy, laser analytical methods, electron spectroscopy, surface analytical methods, and their applications to environmental, atmospheric, and bio-analytical problems. Prerequisite: undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent. CU Catalog: CHEM 5161 |
|
| CHEM 5171 (3) | Electroanalytical Chemistry |
Establishes a background for understanding electrochemical systems through a review of the relevant thermodynamic, kinetic, and electronic principles. Compare s classical and modern electrochemical methods of analysis. Several special topics are discussed in depth. Prerequisite: undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent. CU Catalog: CHEM 5171 |
|
| CHEM 5181 (2) | Chromatography and Analytical Separations |
Analytical separation processes, with special reference to theory and practice of liquid and gas chromatography. Prerequisite, undergraduate physical chemistry or instructor consent. CU Catalog: CHEM 5181 |
