CHEM 422Instrumntl Meth Of Anls (LEC)

Catalog

This course will introduce the basic principles of instrumental methods that constitute major components of modern analytical chemistry. Analytical chemists invent and apply physical/chemical concepts, principles and strategies for obtaining the qualitative and quantitative information of chemical systems, and operate instruments to extend and improve the ability of all chemists to make meaningful chemical analysis. Main contents of the course will include introductions to basic microelectronics in analytical instrumentation, electroanalysis, atomic/molecular spectroscopy, separations, and analytical imaging techniques. By taking this course, students are expected to develop the understanding of major instrumental methods, and the abilities to use modern analytical instrumentation and methods to solve chemical analysis problems. FORMAT: Two lectures and two 3-hour laboratories per week. BOOKS: LAB MANUAL-CURRENT EDITION, PRINCIPLES OF INSTRUMENTAL ANALYSIS, 7TH edition, by D.A. Skoog, et al.
