| Start Date: 09/04/2019 End Date: 12/17/2019 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2019 |
| Description: This course serves as an introduction to quantitative analytical chemistry and measurement. Topics to be covered include: aqueous statistical and error analysis, titrimetric and gravimetric analysis, and sample preparation techniques. In the laboratory, students will apply techniques covered in lecture to quantitation of a variety of analytes, and they will also learn the fundamentals of method development and optimization. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: A digital version of the text is available for rental at https://www.vitalsource.com/products/exploring-chemical-analysis-danie l-c-harris-v9781464128998 An equivalent, but more expensive version of the text is Quantitative Chemical Analysis, also by Daniel Harris. The 9th edition of the book has the following ISBN: 9781464135385, and can be found on Amazon. You do not need to purchase both Exploring Chemical Analysis and Quantitative Chemical Analysis - either book will be satisfactory for CHEM 223. Of the two, we will be using examples from ECA more regularly in the class. The editions listed above are the most current editions of each text - however, earlier editions (4th for Exploring Chemical Analysis and 8th for Quantitative Chemical Analysis) will contain a majority of the material covered in the new versions. The most current editions of each are available at the library for problem sets. |
