Analytical Chemistry I

Catalog description

P: One year of organic chemistry: CHM 25500 and 25600 (or equivalent). Required of students majoring in chemistry. Quantitative measurements on complex chemical systems that show matrix effects or require isolation of a component prior to its determination; general approaches to quantitative problems at the trace level; critical comparisons of competitive procedures with emphasis on principles of separation processes, including chromatography; recognition and evaluation of possible sources of error; approaches for optimizing conditions so as to minimize time and/or effort required to attain prescribed levels of accuracy and precision.
