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:

Reproduce scientific data by repeating chemical analysis technique. (GEO 1, 3)
Explain chemical equilibria and apply this concept to describe acid-base equilibria,buffer solutions and solubility products. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
Describe the concept of quantitative analyses such as titrimetric analysis andgravimetric analysis. (GEO 1, 2, 3)
