Courses

This course is designed to acquaint the student with the chemical and physical principles of modern biochemical methods. Emphasis is placed upon the application of the methods to current problems in biochemistry and molecular biology and the interpretation of data.

Three lectures, one three-hour laboratory per week. A detailed study of the principles of acid-base, complex ions, slightly soluble salt equilibria, electrometric, and spectrophotometric methods and an introduction to special instrumental methods in analytical chemistry.

The theoretical principles of modern quantitative wet-chemical methods for determining composition and concentration with rigorous treatment of solution equilibria.

Theory and practical aspects of modern instrumental methods of quantitative analysis; instrumental approaches to selectivity and sensitivity; examples of major, minor and trace component analysis.

The analytical sequence of chemistry courses with strong emphasis on laboratory work, involves quantification of compounds using various analytical techniques of separation and identification. Main steps involved in complete analysis, like sampling, sample preparation, measurement and calculation, in each method will be introduced.

Topics covered include: error analysis, various types of volumetric analyses and an introduction to spectroscopy.

Theory and application of volumetric, potentiometric and photometric chemical analysis.

This course is a study in quantitative chemical analysis in which techniques of volumetric and gravimetric methods of analysis are stressed during the first semester and selected instrumental methods are treated during the second semester. Both theoretical principles and practical applications are considered.

This is a continuation course in the study of quantitative chemical analysis in which techniques of volumetric and gravimetric methods of analysis are stressed during the first semester and selected instrumental methods are treated during the second semester.

Laboratory to accompany CHE 221. A study of classical wet and dry methods as well as electrometric, spectrometric, and chromatographic methods.
