Description
An intensive introductory course in analytical chemistry that focuses on the analytical chemistry that focuses on the analytical process, including theoretical principles underlying analytical techniques, calculations, and quantitative aspects of analytical separations, chromatographic methods, spectrophotometry, acid-base equilibria and titrations, electrochemistry, gas and liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry, and spectroscopy. Students will also be introduced to relevant laboratory statistics for method validation and quality control assessment, including: gaussian distributors, accuracy, precision, uncertainty, t-tests, linear regression, and objective identification of outliers. Students will participate in both lecture and literature-based independent study activities as part of this course.
