CHEM 3370 - Analytical Chemistry and Instrumental Analysis

3 Credit(s)

The purpose of this course is to introduce the principles and practices in the fields of analytical chemistry and instrumental analysis and their applications with an emphasis on the pharmaceutical field. Students will gain a quantitative understanding of homogeneous and heterogeneous equilibria phenomena as applied to acid-base and complexometric titrations, rudimentary separations, optical spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, and chemically applied statistics. Given the rapid growth in the type and complexity of chemical instrumentation, it would be difficult to cover every technique available. However, this course should provide students with the fundamental background on the workings of many important types of instruments that they will likely encounter in the future, including atomic spectroscopy, molecular spectroscopy, and chromatographic separation.
