CHEM 313 is not available for challenge.
Note: This course has a supervised, on-site laboratory component.
Overview
Chemistry 313: Analytical Chemistry II is the second of two three-credit courses designed to give students a thorough grounding in the principles of analytical chemistry at the undergraduate level. Together, Chemistry 311 and Chemistry 313 are equivalent to an eight month, two-semester course in a traditional university.
The topics covered in the course include electrodes, potentiometry and electroanalytical techniques; the fundamentals and applications of spectrophotometry; atomic and mass spectrometry theory and applications; the theory of chromatography and the common gas and liquid chromatography methods; and important aspects of sampling and sample preparation.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to
- discuss the background theory of instrumental analytical methods.
- perform calculations related to the analytical methods discussed.
- evaluate analytical data using selected statistical methods.
- perform instrumental analytical procedures, determine the concentrations of analytes in unknowns using those procedures, and evaluate the data obtained.
