The methods of quantitative analysis and principles of chemical equilibrium emphasizes the collection, analysis, and communication of quantitative data as applied to chemical equilibria. Lectures will cover concepts of statistical analysis, data processing, spectroscopy, ionic strength, and equilibria (acid-base, precipitation, complexation, and oxidation-reduction). Laboratory exercises explore and elucidate the concepts and methods developed in lecture, and include quantitative experimentation with gravimetric, titrimetric, and spectroscopic instrumental methods. Additional instruction is provided for the use of spreadsheets for data analysis and graphing. Two 80 minute lectures and one three-hour laboratory per week.
Chemistry 126 and 136; or Chemistry 140.
Includes a required corequisite lab, Chemistry 310L.
