The analysis of blood stains, drugs, fibers, glass and paint by classical wet chemical and instrumental methods will be examined. The course will consist of 3 s.h. combinations of lecture, laboratory and seminar. This course may, not be used to satisfy chemistry major elective requirements. This course is designed for all science majors who wish to create computer instrument interfaces and who wish to use such interfaces for data acquisition in the laboratory. Both the hardware and software aspects of interfacing are addressed.
Software development is minimized by using commercial programs.
Some familiarity with personal computers is assumed. Includes various electrometric, magnetic, spectrophotometric and chromatographic instruments along with simple electronic circuits. The determination of the structures of organic compounds utilizing infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet and mass spectrometry. A study of nuclear properties, nuclear structure, nuclear reactions and their, application to radiochemistry. An introduction to the use of the concept of symmetry and the basic principles of group theory to help solve problems in a quantum chemistry, vibrational and electronic spectroscopy, and optical activity of complexions and molecules.
