COURSE LISTING:

               

NAME:  Quantitative Analysis

                CATALOG NUMBER:  Chemistry 202

                DESCRIPTION:  A course including representative types of gravimetric and volumetric analysis, and a study of

                                                  the techniques and fundamental principles of analytical chemistry and the stoichiometric

                                                  problems. Four semester hours.

 

COURSE DETAILS:

 

Objectives:

               

1.

The student should develop an understanding of what makes up analytical chemistry and an appreciation for its usefulness.

2.

The student should learn more about solving stoichiometric and other important chemical problems.

3.

The student should develop good quantitative laboratory techniques which are of value in all of the sciences

 

Texts Required:

                Skoog/West/Holler; Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry, 7th Edition

 

Requirements:

               

1.

Reading of chapters from the text will follow the sequential order given in the daily schedule.

2.

The student should develop good quantitative laboratory techniques which are of value in all of the sciences

3.

Laboratory:  The laboratory is an essential part of the course which both illustrates and supplements the classroom instruction.  NOTE:  Safety glasses must be worn in the lab.

4.

Tests are scheduled on the course outline.

 

POLICY STATEMENTS:

               

1.

Attendance is expected.

2.

Tests should not be missed unless it is absolutely necessary.  You must contact me in advance if you will be gone when a test is scheduled.  If you are too ill to take an exam, please have a friend report this to me at or before the exam.

3.

Tests will be returned and discussed, but all tests must be returned to me after review.  I will keep them on file until after you have gotten your semester grade.  Please record your grades for your own records.

 


GRADING SCALE:

                Each examination will count 100 points.  Test grades count 40% and laboratory 60%.  Letter grades for the semester are assigned by the following range:

 

    A      93-100%

     C      73-76

 

    A-     90-92

     C-     70-72

 

    B+    87-89

     D+    67-69
