206C Instrumental Methods of Analysis is the second course in the analytical chemistry sequence at Gustavus Adolphus. CH71 requires two semesters of calculus and a year of physics, and so those courses are also prerequisites for CH80. The subject matter is the design, function, and use of modern chemical instrumentation.
Syllabus is available in pdf format.
The laboratory portion of the course involves eight instrumental methods of analysis. The investigation of each method requires students to perform several experiments. Students work in pairs or teams of three, perform experiments, and bring them together for reports. The following is a list of experiments.
