Course Descriptions
Details of the undergraduate prograrnmes offered by the Faculty of Science are to be found in Chapter 13.
Prerequisites for a course are a reliable guide to the background necessary for the course. In lieu of the specific courses listed, an equivalent background from Waterloo or elsewhere is acceptable. With consent of the instructor, prerequisites may be waived in exceptional cases.
The course covers the material considered essential preparation for first year chemistry courses. Included are formulae, nomenclature, stoichiometry, and an introduction to thermochemistry, solution chemistry, chemical equilibria, acids, bases and oxidation reduction reactions, kinetics and bonding.
Successful completion of this course fulfills the University Admission requirements where high school chemistry is necessary. Offered by correspondence only, one term. No University credit.
Chem 10 F,W,S, 1c 860
General Chemistry Seminar
Required for all Chemistry students beyond Year 1, this seminar brings together students from all years to receive information concerning the activities of the Chemistry Departmentand the Chemical Institute of Canada, and to hear invited speakers.
Stoichiometry and structure; periodic atomic properties and their chemical implications; descriptive chemistry of selected compounds; special interest topics.
Prereq: Yr5 Chem, Math (Functions and Relations; and Calculus)
Science students must take Chem 121L with this course
lonic equilibria in aqueous solutions; oxidationreduction: reaction kinetics and mechanisms in aqueous solutions; special interest topics.
Prereq: Chem 121
Science students must take Chem 122L with this course
Chemi22L W,S 3L 0.25 Chemical Reaction Laboratory Selected experiments for students taking Chemistry 122
Students electing a Year 1 Chemistry course are expected to take 121-122 and the associated laboratories, 121L-122L.
However, if they have not completed Ontario Year 5 Chemistry (or its equivalent), students may prefer Chem. 111-112 (and 111L-112L). Eligibility for these courses is determined by the Instructor or Advisor. Credit will not be allowed for both 111-112 and 121-122.
elected experiments for students taking Chemistry 112.
When selecting Chemistry courses beyond Year 7
students must obey the following rules, unless specific - permission to do otherwise has been granted by their Undergraduate Officer. .
i) All Students must have passed the listed . prerequisites. In addition students are expected to have successfully completed at least 2 years of their programmes before selecting 300-level courses, and 3 years before selecting 400-level courses. [In some
cases especially where 400-level courses are offered _
only in alternate years, this rule may be waived with the consent of the instructor].
2) Honours Chemistry Students (all Options, including Coop) may not take General Chemistry courses for credit. Honours students from other Science Departments should follow the same regulations as Honours Chemistry students unless permission to do * otherwise has been approved by their Department
Undergraduate Officer.
3) General Chemistry Studies (4-year) may not take Core Honours courses but must take the General Programme equivalent e.g. 218 not 212; 226 not 220, etc. General Science (4 year with a Major) students
* should follow the same regulations as General Chemistry (4 yr) students unless permission to do otherwise has been approved by their Departmental Undergraduate Officer.
4) General Science Students (non-major) may not take Core Honours courses; nor may they take 400-level Chemistry courses (unless the consent of the instructor is obtained). Certain 300-level Chemistry courses may also be excluded-see the specific prerequisites for each course to be sure.
5) Students cannot obtain ‘‘Double-Credit” for courses which clearly overlap to a significant extent. In particular, no more than 0.5 credit may be obtained within the following groups of Chemistry lecture courses.
The same principle applies to laboratory courses. If in doubt consult your instructor and Undergraduate Officer.
