Gravimetric, titrimetric and volumetric methods along with statistical methods to evaluate data are presented in the laboratory. Various unknowns are determined utilizing the basic techniques described above. The laboratory will also introduce potentiometry and UV-Visible spectroscopy. An in-depth study of major organic mechanisms, along with selected topics such as symphoria, heterocyclics, polymers and molecular orbital modeling. Theory and practice of instrumental analysis of organic compounds.
Emphasis is on interpretation of data from modern instrumentation.
Capabilities and limitations of spectral analyses are considered. A course designed primarily for students who are pursuing the American Chemical Society accredited degree in chemistry. This course is an overview of the principles of advanced inorganic chemistry including, applications of group theory and symmetry, molecular bonding theories, nomenclature, kinetics and mechanisms, organometallics, polymers, and advanced inorganic laboratory techniques. The course has a lecture and laboratory component. Techniques covered include crystallization, distillation, gas and liquid chromatography, counter current chromatography, micellar chromatography, electrophoretic techniques, and field flow fractionation.
