Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
The principles of analytical chemistry and their practical application to solution samples. Titrimetric and electrochemical methods. Quantitative.
COURSE DETAILS:
2 lecture hours/week; 4 lab hours/week
General Course Description: The fundamental principles of analytical sciences are introduced in this course. The concepts of sampling, experimental uncertainty, statistical data analysis and calibration will be covered in the lecture and put into practice in laboratory sessions. The principles of acid-base equilibria in solution are fully developed throughout the course. Complex reaction equilibria involving metal ions and multidentate ligands are treated from the perspective of individual species measurement. Titrimetric and electroanalytical techniques (e.g. potentiometry, coulometry, and voltammetry) for solution species are discussed. The analytical instrumentation methods: atomic spectroscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) will also be covered.
Lecture Topics:
Fundamentals of Chemical Analysis

Registrar Notes:
SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://students.sfu.ca/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the University community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the University. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the University. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
