Prerequisites:
CHEM 122 and 126, both with a minimum grade of C-.
Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
The principles of analytical chemistry and their practical application to solution samples. Titrimetric and electrochemical methods. Quantitative.
COURSE-LEVEL EDUCATIONAL GOALS:
2 lecture hours/week; 1 tutorial hour/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 (e.g. acid-base, EDTA) and electroanalytical techniques (e.g. potentiometry, coulometry) for solution species are discussed.
Lecture Topics:
- Fundamentals of Chemical Analysis
- Gravimetric Analysis
- Solution Equilibria
- Titrimetric Methods
- Electroanalytical Methods (e.g. Potentiometry, Voltammetry)
Laboratory Experiments:
- Calibration, Gravimetry, Titrimetry, Potentiometry, Voltammetry, Atomic Spectroscopy, GC-MS and GC.
Grading
- Assignments 10%
- Weekly/Bi-Weekly Quizzes 15%
- Laboratory 40%
- Final Exam 35%
NOTES:
Lab coats and safety glasses/goggles are mandatory for all Chemistry labs.
REQUIREMENTS:
To pass the course, students must pass BOTH the lecture exams and laboratory portions.

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 SUMMER 2020
Please note that all teaching at SFU in summer term 2020 will be conducted through remote methods. Enrollment in this course 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.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) as soon as possible to ensure that they are eligible and that approved accommodations and services are implemented in a timely fashion.
