Quantitative Analysis in Chemistry

Catalog description

Prerequisites: CHEM 1121 . This course covers basic analytical chemistry theory and techniques, principles of experimental error analysis, and the application of statistics to interpret experimental data. The laboratory experiments emphasize quantification of unknown samples, utilizing both traditional techniques and modern instrumentation and mathematical methods encountered in prerequisite classes. The use of computer-interfaced equipment in improving performance and of spreadsheets in interpreting scientific data and improving calculation efficiency is integrated into the data analysis from the laboratory experiments. The course will consist of two 75-minute lectures and one 4.5 hour laboratory meeting per week.
