Analytical Chemistry I

Catalog description

A study of the fundamental concepts and skills of analytical chemistry including measurement, statistical treatment of data, equilibrium constant calculations, solubility equilibria, acid-base equilibria, EDTA-complexation equilibria, volumetric analysis and radiochemical analysis. The laboratory sessions focus on volumetric methods such as precipitation titrations, acid-base titrations, complexation titrations, and redox titrations where accurate measurement of volume is essential. Two lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week. Prerequisite: CHEM-1120 General Chemistry II. (Fee: $150)
