CHEM 221 Chemical Analysis I

The theoretical basis and techniques necessary to accurately and precisely measure the chemical composition of natural and artificial materials. Specific topics include experiment design, sampling, and validation of results with supporting statistics; gravimetric and titrimetric analysis with supporting acid-base and solubility chemical equilibrium theory; introduction to instrumental techniques including molecular spectroscopy (UV-Vis), and chromatographic methods (GC and HPLC). This course meets the writing-intensive requirement for the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry majors.
