Chemistry 306 - Analytical Chemistry

This course serves as an introduction to quantitative analytical chemistry, with a combined emphasis on both classical analysis tools and commonly used instrumental techniques. Topics to be covered include figures of merit, statistical and error analysis, titrimetric and gravimetric analysis, and sample preparation techniques. Instrumental methods covered will include atomic/molecular spectroscopy, chromatography and mass spectrometry. In the laboratory, students will apply techniques covered in lecture to quantitation of analytes commonly seen in pharmaceutical, forensic, chemical and biological settings, and will also learn the fundamentals of method development and optimization.

Prereq: CHEM-231 and 4 credits in Mathematics.; Coreq: CHEM-306L.
