Analytical Chemistry I: Quantitative Analysis ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course is designed for science majors. A survey of spectroscopic and chromatographic methods, including theoretical background and operating principles of chemical instrumentation, will be provided. Application of these methods of instrumental analysis to solutions of chemical problems, including identification and characterization of chemical compounds, will be emphasized. Topics in molecular spectroscopy include UV-Visible and Infrared spectroscopy, Mass Spectrometry, and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy. Techniques of separation include single- and multi-stage methods, with emphasis on gas and liquid chromatography. Prerequisites: Chemistry I with Lab ( CHEM 1205 ) or equivalent and Chemistry II with Lab ( CHEM 1206 ) or equivalent.
