CHEM 241 - Analytical Chemistry (Quantitative Analysis)

3 lecture hours, no lab hours, 3 credit hours
[LCCN: CCEM 2303]
Introduces the student to the theory and practice of classical wet and modern instrumental analytical chemistry. The course will cover the fundamentals of analytical statistics and its importance to data reliability, sampling protocol, preparation and analysis of sample, chemical equilibria (acid-base, complex formation and precipitation), titration (acid-base, complexometric, precipitation, and redox), gravimetric analysis, spectroscopic, chromatographic separation and electroanalytical techniques. This course will focus on the use of quantitative measurements in comparing theoretical and experimental data. Emphasis will be on the importance of the correct usage of analytical technique/instrumentation and safe laboratory practice. Prerequisite(s): “C” or higher in CHEM 142 and CHEM 144. Corequisite(s): CHEM 243. Course/Lab Fee $15
