Chemistry
All Chemistry courses have both a lecture and a lab compo-
nent.
Students intending to transfer into the second year of a university
program are advised to refer to the appropriate university calendar
for the specific course requirements, or contact a College
counsellor or educational advisor. To obtain credit for the first year
in the Faculty of Science at UBC, the following courses are
required: CHEM 1110 and 1210, any two of ENGL 1100 (or
1200), 1201, 1202, 1205, 1206, PHYS 1120 and 1220 (or PHYS
1101 and 1102), and MATH 1120 and 1220. (Some optional
courses are also required to complete the first year.) Mathematics is
a requirement in many university programs and most chemistry
courses offered at Kwantlen require mathematics prerequisites. For
this reason, students are advised to consider carefully the sequence
of math and chemistry courses taken. The following sequence is
suggested to permit students to progress smoothly through
chemistry and mathematics in the minimum number of semesters.
Students should start at the level consistent with their previous
experience.
Students with no previous chemistry and little mathematics should take CHEM 1094 (previously CHEM 0094) and MATH 1093 (previously MATH 0093).
Students with Chemistry 11 (and a letter grade of C+ or better) and Math 11 (or the Kwantlen courses in (a) above) should take CHEM 1105 and MATH 1112.
Students with Chemistry 12 (and a letter grade of C+ or better) and Math 12 (or the Kwantlen courses in (B) above) should take the following:
Students may also take their second year chemistry at Kwantlen
University College. Organic Chemistry (2320 and 2420), Analytical
Chemistry (2315), and Physical Chemistry for both the Physical
Sciences and Life sciences (2310 and 2311) are all offered and all
transfer to British Columbia universities.
CHEM 1101 is an attractive lab-science course for non-science
students. It is tailored to allow students outside of science to gain a
clearer understanding of their daily interaction with chemistry. If
you have ever felt left out in discussions about the safety of food
additives, pesticide usage, or the ingredients in common household
products, then this course is for you.
Associate Degree
Kwantlen offers an Associate of Science - Chemistry degree for
students pursuing a B.Sc. major in Chemistry.
CHEM 1094 cr-4
Preparation for General Chemistry
Students will study: exponential notation, significant figures,
dimensional analysis, metric system, density, symbols, chemical
formula and equations, percentage composition and simplest
formula, atomic mass, mole concept, stoichiometry, solutions
molarity, classification of matter, gases, periodic table and some
descriptive chemistry. They will also perform experiments in the
laboratory.
Students will gain an understanding of the chemical world around
them by learning the answers to questions such as: What is the
difference between natural source and synthetic Vitamin C? What
is Olestra? Why shouldn't I mix ammonia and bleach when
cleaning? Students will gain an understanding of and learn about
the skills necessary to make informed decisions on scientific
matters.
This is an exploratory course in chemistry for non-science
students. No prior study of chemistry is required. This course
may be used to partially fulfill: lab science requirements for
Associate of Arts and Bachelor of Arts degrees; liberal education
requirements for any of Kwantlen's baccalaureate degrees; or
science requirements for an elementary education program. This
course may not be used for credits for students in science, or as a
pre-requisite for further chemistry courses.
After a quick review of the content of CHEM 1094 students will
study the following topics: thermochemistry, freezing point
depression, boiling point elevation, liquids and gases, solutions,
acids and bases, ionic equilibria, chemical equilibria, and oxidation
and reduction.
Prerequisites: CHEM 0094/1094 or (Chemistry 11 with a C+ or higher) or
(Chemistry 12 with a P or higher) and MATH 0093/1093 (or higher level)
or (ABEM 0082 or 0011 or PSPM 1082 or MATP 1011) or
(Mathematics 11 with a C or higher)
Students will study the modern view of atomic structure, nuclear
chemistry, theories of bonding and molecular structure, organic
chemistry (properties and reactions of the major functional groups
and isomerism) after a brief review of stoichiometry, gases and the
treatment of experimental data. Students will also perform
experiments in the laboratory.
Students will learn about stoichiometry, gases, liquids, solids and
solutions, equilibrium, acids and bases, thermodynamics, and
chemical kinetics. They will also perform laboratory work.
Note: This course may not be used for credit for students in
science, or as a pre-requisite for further chemistry courses. This
course is designed for students transferring to an engineering
program.
Prerequisites: (CHEM 1105 or [Chemistry 12 with a C+]) and (MATH
1112 or [Principles of Mathematics 12 with a B])
Students will learn about topics including: liquids, solids and
solutions, a review of redox reactions, electrochemistry, the laws of
thermodynamics, equilibrium, acids and bases, ionic equilibria, and
chemical kinetics. They will also perform laboratory work.
Prerequisites: CHEM 1110 and (MATH 1112 or higher level or (Principles
of Mathematics 12 with a B) [prerequisite revision: effective Sept. 2005]
Students will study chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and
spectroscopy at a second-year level with the appropriate
mathematical rigour. They will also apply these physical chemistry
principles in a lab setting.
Students will study chemical kinetics, thermodynamics, and
spectroscopy at a second year level without some of the
mathematical rigor commonly associated with a second-year
physical chemistry course.
Students will learn the fundamental concepts of analytical
chemistry. They will study quantitative analysis of aqueous
solutions and solid samples, experimental design and data analysis,
as well as spectroscopic and chromatographic methods. Students
will engage in extensive laboratory work and practical applications.
Students will study the fundamental aspects of modern organic
chemistry as illustrated by the structure, physical and spectroscopic
properties and reactions of alkanes, cycloalkanes, alkenes, dienes,
alkynes, halogen compounds, alcohols, ethers, aldehydes and
ketones. They will also perform experiments in the laboratory.
Topics covered in this course are: properties, bonding, structure
and reaction of coordination compounds, spectroscopy, chemical
kinetics, reaction rate theories, solution equilibria and
electrochemistry. The laboratory component of this course stresses
analytical and inorganic methods in Chemistry.
This course is a continuation of CHEM 2320. Students will study
the structure and reactions of aromatics, polycyclic aromatic and
heteroaromatic compounds, and their enolates, and an
introduction to the chemistry of fats, carbohydrates and proteins.
They will also perform experiments in the laboratory.
