Description

Experiments are conducted to complement and expand on the principles covered in the Physiological Chemistry II lecture. Building on what was learned in Physiological Chemistry Laboratory I, the course provides a foundation in experimental chemistry emphasizing health-focused applications for students interested or majoring in one of the health professions, delivering important practical knowledge and training and computational and critical thinking skills needed for success in upper-level health science courses and as professionals in the field. Laboratory exercises will provide hands-on training in: studying types of chemical reactions and performing stoichiometry calculations; principles of organic synthesis via preparation and isolation of aspirin; studying the properties of acids and bases, including buffers; quantitative analysis of acidic and/or basic solutions via titrimetry; studying the properties and analysis of carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and proteins.
