CHM-3302 Analytical Chemistry
An introduction to the theory and practice of quantitative analysis: This 4 credit course is designed for BS Forensic Science majors as well as science and non-science students with an interest in knowing how to analyze chemicals and biochemicals. The lecture & lab course will address data analysis and statistics including error propagation, confidence intervals and analytical calibration methods. The class will discuss how acid/base chemistry, redox chemistry, and complex multiple simultaneous equilibria are applied to analytical problems. Classical analytical methods, such as gravimetric and volumetric analysis, and more modern methods involving electrochemical methods will also be included. Laboratory work will include the application of a variety of these methods to quantitative chemical analysis, with particular emphasis on experimental design, implementation and limitation of the data obtained.
