Instrumental Analyzes
General Chemistry
This course assume that you have a basic knowledge of physical chemistry and inorganic
chemistry. The actual topics covered vary.
CH 726 Advanced Inorganic Laboratory (Offered in Fall semesters)
This course assumes a knowledge of CH 725. A variety of syntheses and partial
characterization of the products are performed. Includes discussions about experimental design,
general utility of the methods, and the relationship to theory and application.
CH 376 Analytical Chemistry (Must be concurrently enrolled in CH 777 lab)
This course covers the traditional or classical topics and techniques of chemical analyzes - gravimetric and volumetric - and introduces elementary spectroscopy. The approach to this course utilizes theory as the basis. A systematic approach to the derivation of the approximate mathematical formula that are normally used in various types of calculations. The belief is that when anomalous lab results are obtained the student will be able to determine which approximation is invalid rather than just reporting or using the result.
CH 377 Analytical Chemistry Laboratory (Must be concurrently enrolled in CH 776 lecture)
This laboratory course is designed to enhance manipulative skills required for precision.
Grades heavily favor good precision and accuracy . Commonly used unknowns with known
standard deviations are analyzed. Each student prepares and standardizes the solutions to be used
in the analysis. Techniques of the trade are demonstrated and practice is gained.
CH 777 Instrumental Analyzes (Offered in Spring semesters)
This course assumes a knowledge of physical chemistry. This is both a lecture and laboratory
course. Among the topics normally discussed are signal to noise enhancement techniques,
separation techniques (various chromatography and capillary electrophoresis techniques),
spectroscopic techniques (E.G. UV-visible, FTIR, NMR, MS, etc.), and report writing are
discussed. Each student is given hands-on experience with the instruments. Evaluative
interpretation of the data and formal reports are required for all experiments.
CH 123AZ Chemistry I lecture (Enrollment in this section by invitation after an exam)
(Must be enrolled in CH 124AZ lab, CH 126AZ, & CH 127AZ)
This is the honors section of chemistry for science majors. All students enrolled in Chemistry I for the first time are given an assessment examination. Students who demonstrate a high level of introductory chemical knowledge are invited into this section. Students may accept the invitation or decline the invitation.
This section is an accelerated course. Both Chemistry I and Chemistry II (lecture and
laboratory) are covered in one semester. After successful completion of the entire course, each
student is awarded 10 credit hours. Normally students will be granted an "overload" for the five
extra credit hours. Other classes should be chosen with care since the work load is heavy and
continuous. Good time management skills are required. Note that science majors usually are
also enrolled in Calculus I.
CH 124AZ Chemistry I Laboratory (Enrollment in this section by invitation after an exam)
(Must be enrolled in CH 123AZ , CH 126AZ, & CH 127AZ lab)
Please refer to CH 123AZ above for more information.
CH 126AZ Chemistry II lecture (Enrollment in this section by invitation after an exam)
(Must be enrolled in CH 123AZ , CH 124AZ lab, & CH 127AZ lab)
Please refer to CH 123AZ above for more information.
CH 127AZ Chemistry II Laboratory (Enrollment in this section by invitation after an exam)
(Must be enrolled in CH 123AZ, CH 124AZ lab, & CH 126AZ)
Please refer to CH 123AZ above for more information.
