CHEM 2471 Analytical Methods in Chemistry I
Course Description
This is a compulsory course for students who wish to pursue the Minor in Analytical Chemistry, which continues the study of analytical chemistry concepts begun in CHEM 2470. More advanced concepts are presented, including further development of titrimetric techniques, focusing on complexometric titrations. The understanding and use of instrumental techniques begins in this course, with electrochemical methods, basic spectroscopy and separation techniques. The unit on electrochemical methods covers the chemical theory that is exploited in potentiometric and other analytical techniques as well as more applied issues to do with the appropriate use of these methods. The units on basic spectroscopy and separation techniques provide a general introduction to these advanced instrumental techniques. The teaching/learning strategies used in this course are based on the classroom lecture along with small group activities and participation; all of this supported by myeLearning components. The course is assessed by in-course examination, tutorial activities, poster preparation, a literature review and a final examination.
