An introduction to the foundational principles of physical and physical organic chemistry. The course focuses on the application of these principles to solving problems in forensic science. The numerous aspects of forensic science require a working knowledge of physical chemistry, the foundational principles, and the interrelation of cause and effect.
Prerequisite: PHYS 112; MATH 132; CHEM 222 or (CHEM 224 and CHEM 226) or (CHEM 240, CHEM 241, CHEM 260, and CHEM 272); and Forensic Science majors.
Outcomes: Understand the basic concepts of physical and physical organic chemistry; Acquire and interpret data and form conclusions; and Use critical thinking skills in problem solving.
