CH 215 - Integrated Chemical Analysis

A laboratory-centered survey of selected methods of chemical analysis including classical “wet” techniques, basic chemical instrumentation, and analysis of various samples chosen to demonstrate the applicability of chemical analysis in fields such as water quality and food chemistry, to name a few. The use of MS-Excel, scientific writing, and statistical techniques for data analysis are emphasized. This class includes components of the ethics of scientific research (specifically in the fields of chemistry, environmental science, and medicine). A significant amount of class time will be spent in the laboratory, and students are expected to work independently while in lab in order to gain experience in various analytical techniques.
