CHEM 321 Quantitative Chemical Analysis

Credit 4
This is a course in quantitative analysis that includes gravimetric and volumetric methods.  The first part of the course focuses on calculations involving stoichiometric principles and chemical equilibrium.  The nature of experimental errors and their effects on the results of chemical analysis, as well as the use of statistical calculations to sharpen student judgement concerning the quality of experimental measures are explored.  General principles and phenomena associated with gravimetric and titrimetric analysis are addressed in this course.  Additionally, modern analytical instrumental techniques and instrumentation such as potentiometry, ultraviolet and infrared spectroscopy, and chromatography will be introduced.  In the laboratory portion of this course, students will be trained on the use of laboratory techniques with minimal error.  Through the integration of lectures and laboratories, students will have sufficient knowledge to design and implement well-defined analytical methods that convey the results with scientific validity. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 112 , CHEM 114 , MATH 110  with the grade of C or better. Laboratory fees required.
