CH 240 - Analytical Chemistry (SR)

This course is Sustainability-Related (SR) 

Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisite: Completion of CH131 or permission of instructor.

Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to do the following:

1. Perform base calculations to describe solutions, reactions, and measurements including concentration effects, stoichiometry, equilibrium, and kinetics;
2. Apply statistics and propagation of error in the context of chemical analyses;
3. Describe the fundamental principles behind chemical phenomena and their measurement, especially concerning equilibria;
4. Speak the language of analytical chemistry and explain principles behind the techniques the course covers: gravimetry, titrimetry, spectroscopy, chromatography, and electrochemistry;
5. Research and present information on techniques that are used in a variety of disciplines;
6. Develop and evaluate methods to robustly measure analytes by considering each step of the analytical process: sample preparation, calibration, analysis, and interpretation.
