Prerequisites:
CHEM 122 and CHEM 126, both with a minimum grade of C-. Corequisite: CHEM 210.
Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
Experiments in analytical chemistry, including analysis of solution samples, titrimetric and electroanalytical methods. This course has the same laboratory component as CHEM 215. 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:
4 lab hours/week
Laboratory: In-person at Burnaby campus
Theory Guides and Experiment Decides
The fundamental principles of analytical sciences are verified in this course. The concepts of sampling, experimental uncertainty, statistical data analysis and calibration covered in the lectures will be 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 and voltammetry) for solution species are performed.
Laboratory Experiments:
Sampling, Calibration, Gravimetry, Thermogravimetry, Titrimetry, Potentiometry, Voltammetry, Atomic Spectroscopy, GC-MS and GC.
Grading
- Pre-Lab Assignments 10%
- Lab Pop Quizzes 5%
- Laboratory 60%
- Final Exam 25%
NOTES:
Attendance of In-Person Laboratory Sessions: It is mandatory for students to attend all in-person laboratory sessions. If you are unable to attend an in-person laboratory session due to illness, please contact your instructor as soon as possible to discuss alternative arrangements.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity website 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
RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION
Students with a faith background who may need accommodations during the semester are encouraged to assess their needs as soon as possible and review the Multifaith religious accommodations website. The page outlines ways they begin working toward an accommodation and ensure solutions can be reached in a timely fashion.
