Introduction Chemistry 21 is an intermediate course that introduces the theory and methods of chemical analysis. In analytical chemistry, we are interested in determining the identities and concentrations of chemical species present in a system or sample. This requires understanding the relevant chemical reactions and equilibria. A thorough understanding of analytical chemistry is important not only in chemistry, but in related fields like chemical engineering, medicine and the life sciences, and oceanography, geology and geochemistry. The emphasis in this course will be on understanding the quantitative behavior of chemical systems, i.e., knowing the exact concentrations of all chemical species and under what circumstances those concentrations will change.
