Foundations of Quantitative Chemical Analysis ((3))

Catalog description

This is an introduction to the theory and practice of quantitative analytical chemistry and analytical laboratory techniques. Topics include common analytical instrumentation, statistics for error and data analysis, various chemical equilibria systems including acid-base and electrochemistry, discussions on ionic strength, activity, and multiple connected chemical equilibria systems, and various electrochemistry topics including redox reactions, titrations, potentiometry, and electrolysis. Theoretical concepts learned in the lecture will be supported by the application of concepts in the laboratory. 100 minutes of lecture/discussion and 150 minutes of laboratory per week.
