Three class hours and one three-hour laboratory period per week. One and one-fourth course credits. The fundamental principles and methodology of chemical analysis are examined, with examples taken from biochemistry as well as organic and inorganic chemistry. Lecture material includes discussion of errors and statistical treatment of data, a review of equilibria, and an introduction to spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and analytical separations. Included in the laboratory portion of the course are concepts of experimental design using library resources, and methods and proper techniques for obtaining and evaluation of quantitative data.
Methods employed include spectroscopy, potentiometry, chromatography, and titrimetry.
