Forensic Chemistry builds on the material taught in General Chemistry (CHEM 121/CHEM 122) and Organic Chemistry (CHEM 301/ CHEM 302) but with special focus on solving issues and challenges facing forensic science. Poisons, drugs, and medicines are analyzed and classified. Illegal drug synthesis, combustion and arson chemistry, explosives, and firearms are also covered. Quantitative reasoning is utilized in the form of scientific units (e.g. dosage) and in oxygen balance calculations (i.e. explosives). Documented case studies re-enforce the course material. Labs will reinforce lecture material.
