| Course Title: Analytical Chemistry |
| Start Date: 09/07/2022 End Date: 12/20/2022 |
| Term: Fall Semester 2022 |
| Description: This course serves as an advanced course in analytical chemistry, with a combined emphasis on both classical analysis tools and commonly used instrumental techniques. Topics to be covered include figures of merit, statistical and error analysis, titrimetric and gravimetric analysis, and sample preparation techniques. Instrumental methods covered will include atomic/molecular spectroscopy, chromatography and mass spectrometry. In the laboratory, students will apply techniques covered in lecture to quantitation of analytes commonly seen in pharmaceutical, forensic, chemical and biological settings, and will also emphasize method development and optimization. |

| Instructor's comments about the book list: As an alternative to Exploring Chemical Analysis, "Quantitative Chemical Analysis", 9th edition (2015) by Daniel Harris can also be used. Both have similar core coverage but differ in the level of mathematical and instrumental treatment. The syllabus will list recommended readings for both texts. Copies of each are available in the library. For the lab - a stitched composition notebook (NOT spiral bound) will be needed, as will safety glasses or goggles. |
