CHM 342 - Analytical Chemistry I Laboratory

1 Semester Hours
Prerequisite: CHM 121, CHM 122; MAT 113 or its equivalent.
Corequisite: CHM 341

This course provides an overview of Quantitative Analysis emphasizing classical “wet” chemical methods. Statistical treatment of data and sample handling in the modern laboratory are introduced. Gravimetric assays and titrations based on chemical equilibrium involving precipitation, complexation, acid-base and redox reactions are examined with an emphasis on calculations, including the use of spreadsheets. Electrochemical probes and thermal analysis methods are incorporated.
