CHEM 2410 - Analytical Chemistry I: Quantitative Analysis and Electrochemistry


Introduction to quantitative techniques that include volumetric and gravimetric methods of analysis and data processing, and analysis and modeling using mathematical tools. Topics will also cover modern electrochemical techniques and instrumentation with emphasis on their applications in analytical chemistry. Topics include potentiometry, specific ion electrodes, DC and AC polarography, pulse polarography, coulometry, chronocoulometry, cyclic voltammetry, and rapid scan voltammetry.

Requisites: CHEM 2410L or concurrent and C- or better in 1520
Credit Hours: 3
Repeat/Retake Information: May be retaken two times excluding withdrawals, but only last course taken counts.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 3.0 lecture
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Be able to perform a linear regression analysis on a data set and use the equation of the line to determine quantitative information form the measurement of unknowns.
  • Be able to perform statistical tests to establish potential outliers, to establish significant differences between samples means, to establish bias in a method, to establish the source of error in a method, and to compare methods or samples.
  • Be able to propagate the known error of measurements through calculations to report the final answer with a probability that the value lies within a certain range.
  • Be proficient in converting quantities between different units, and to select the appropriate units for a given application and target audience.
  • Be proficient in proposing procedures for the preparation of standard and dilute solutions.
  • Be proficient with all aspects of buffer solutions including their preparation, uses and compositions.
  • Understand how to perform and use external calibration, internal standard and standard addition methods for quantitative analysis.
  • Understand how to perform different types of electrochemical techniques, and how to select a technique for a given application.
  • Understand the fundamentals and applications of acid/base and redox titrations.
  • Understand the principles, benefits and downsides to different electroanalytical techniques.
