CHEM 2632 - Analytical Chemistry

2 Credits

This is a course in fundamental theories and techniques in classical methods of chemical analysis including titration, gravimetry, and equilibria, as well as, error analysis and an introduction to statistics.

Prerequisite: CHEM 2204 Chemistry II for Majors* completed with a grade of “C” or better.

Corequisite: CHEM 2631 Analytical Chemistry Lab. Withdrawal from either class results in withdrawal from both classes.

Course Level Objectives
Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

1.Reproduce scientific data by repeating chemical analysis technique. (GEO 1, 3)
2.Explain chemical equilibria and apply this concept to describe acid-base equilibria,buffer solutions and solubility products. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
3.Describe the concept of quantitative analyses such as titrimetric analysis andgravimetric analysis. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
4.Use volumetric and analytical laboratory glasswares and instruments to conductscientific experiments. (GEO 3)
5.Perform wet method analyses carried out regularly by analytical chemists. (GEO 3)
6.Prepare and interpret instrumental calibration curves. (GEO 3)
