CH 240 - Analytical Chemistry (CBL-R) (SR)

This is both a Community-Based Learning - Required (CBL-R)  and Sustainability-Related (SR)  course.

Prerequisite/Corequisite
Prerequisite: Completion of CH 131 or permission of instructor

Recommended: CH 230 and CH 231

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

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