Analytical Chemistry Laboratory

Catalog description

In this course, students will be introduced to the most widely used types of analytical instrumentation, and apply those instruments to the quantification of species of interest in various matrices. Laboratory exercises will emphasize the analytical approach to problem solving, and require precision and accuracy in all measurements. Experiments will include spectrophotometry, potentiometry, chromatography, and voltammetry. Scientific writing skills will be reinforced in the preparation of laboratory reports, and spreadsheet analysis of data will be required.
