CHEM 301 - Quantitative Analysis

4 hours
A careful study of gravimetric and volumetric analysis with special attention given to sources of error, to calibration of instruments and apparatus, and to other important details in the improvement of laboratory technique. Volumetric analyses give experience in acid base, precipitation, complexation, and reduction-oxidation chemistry. Equilibria governing each type of volumetric analysis are studied. Problem-solving skills are developed. Instrumentation is introduced as a tool for use in analytical chemistry. Required for a major in Chemistry. Offered spring of odd years. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 104. Three lecture periods and two laboratory periods. UG
