Description

CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

The principles of analytical chemistry and their practical application to solution samples. Titrimetric and electrochemical methods. This course has the same lecture component as CHEM 215 but no laboratory work. Students with credit for CHEM 215 may not take this course for further credit. Quantitative.

COURSE DETAILS:

Please note, this course outline was accurate at the time of publication but is subject to change.

Mode of Teaching:
3 lecture hours/week; 1 tutorial hour/week (for 10 weeks)
Lecture: Asynchronous
Tutorial: Synchronous

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.

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 briefly introduced.    

Lecture Topics:
Fundamentals of chemical analysis
Gravimetric analysis
Solution equilibria
Titrimetric methods
Gas chromatography
Atomic spectroscopy
Electroanalytical methods

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS

SFU’s Academic Integrity web site http://www.sfu.ca/students/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

TEACHING AT SFU IN FALL 2020

Teaching at SFU in fall 2020 will be conducted primarily through remote methods. There will be in-person course components in a few exceptional cases where this is fundamental to the educational goals of the course. Such course components will be clearly identified at registration, as will course components that will be “live” (synchronous) vs. at your own pace (asynchronous). Enrollment acknowledges that remote study may entail different modes of learning, interaction with your instructor, and ways of getting feedback on your work than may be the case for in-person classes. To ensure you can access all course materials, we recommend you have access to a computer with a microphone and camera, and the internet. In some cases your instructor may use Zoom or other means requiring a camera and microphone to invigilate exams. If proctoring software will be used, this will be confirmed in the first week of class.

Students with hidden or visible disabilities who believe they may need class or exam accommodations, including in the current context of remote learning, are encouraged to register with the SFU Centre for Accessible Learning (caladmin@sfu.ca or 778-782-3112).
