CHEM 2110 Introduction To Instrumental Methods

The lecture material covers the more advanced principles of solutions chemistry including equilibria, acid-base titrations, indicators, buffers, polyprotic acids and bases, complex formation, and activity. Also covered are the principles and applications of spectrophotometry, chromatography, and potentiometic measurements. In addition, the statistical treatment of laboratory data and the application of mathematical software tools for data manipulation and data presentation are used throughout the course. The laboratory provides a rigorous experience in the use of modern analytical methods to isolate, identity, and quantify chemical substances. UV-VIS spectrophometers, PH / potentiometric analyzers, atomic absorption and emission spectrophotometers, and automated chomatographs are used extensively. Lecture and lab. Students will be charged an additional Chemistry Lab Fee when enrolling in this course. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1610 AND CHEM 0610 AND MATH 1160 OR CHEM 1620
