Course description
This course introduces foundations of analytical chemistry at the undergraduate level. In this class, you will learn conventional, optical and electrochemical methods of chemical analysis. Basics of data acquisition and treatment will also be taught.
Purpose of class
The aim of this course is to help students understand basic methods for gathering qualitative and quantitative information about the composition of the matter and how those methods can be used to solve analytical problems in chemistry. Students will obtain detailed knowledge of instrumental techniques used in chemistry field and acquire skills to apply the knowledge to real problems related to chemical analysis.
