|
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:
|
