COURSE
DESCRIPTION: |
This introduction to quantitative analytical chemistry
particularly emphasizes the modern instrumental techniques of
spectroscopy and chromatography important to both chemistry and
biochemistry. Spectrophotometry, solvent extraction, liquid
chromatography, high-pressure liquid chromatography,
gas-chromatography, and potentiometry utilizing ion-selective
electrodes are among the methods studied. An introduction to questions
of precision, accuracy and sampling will also be given.

OBJECTIVES: |
Learning outcomes are statements that describe the key
content, skills or values that you will be able to
demonstrate, or describe, upon completing the course. This
course, though a combination of lecture and laboratory
experiments, is designed to help you answer questions about measurement
in chemistry. At the end of this course, the successful student be able
to:
- Describe and operate key instruments in chemistry
lab, with a focus on:
- Explain how the instrument works by referring to
fundamental chemical and physical principles (A, B)
- Describe the applications of the instrument in
chemical analysis, including limitations (C)
- Demonstrate proper use and care of the instruments
(C, F)
- Analyze and quantify the component(s) in a sample by:
- Selecting appropriate analytical instrumentation
(A,B)
- Planning and carrying out a suitable laboratory
procedure, including the preparation of standard solutions and
calibration methods (A, B, C)
- Demonstrate the correct use of instrumentation and
volumetric glassware (C)
- Interpretation of spectroscopic data (A,C)
- Use spreadsheets to perform calculations and
prepare graphs (A,D)
- Effectively communicate laboratory results in oral
and written form (notebook, scientific reports, presentations) (D)
- explain the basic principles of electrochemical
methods (A)
- describe the use potentiometry, coulometry, or
voltammetry to analyze chemical samples (A,B)
Note – Each learning outcome for Chem 312 has an associated code (A-F).
These codes group learning outcomes into six major categories, as
follow:
A. Depth and Breadth of Knowledge
B. Knowledge of Methodologies
C. Application of Knowledge
D. Communication Skills
E. Awareness of the Limits of Knowledge
F. Maturity and Professional Capacity |
