Analytical Chemistry
Instructors: Dr. Marcin Frankowski
(Lecture/Laboratory)
Consultant: NCSU faculty member Dr. Ghada Rabah
This course is modeled on NCSU
laboratory/lecture course CH315 (3 credits)
The corresponding ISU course is Chem316 (2
credits) and the lab Chem316L (2 credits).
Textbook: Skoog etal, Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry, 9th Ed..
The course consultant Dr. Rabah
will provide web-based materials and laboratory manual based on the NCSU
course. This is a laboratory-based course modeled in CH315 at NCSU. The goal of
the course is to introduce the
fundamental principles and modern techniques of chemical analyses. This
includes examination of electrolytic solutions, including acid-base,
oxidation-reduction, and solubility equilibria, and introduction to spectrochemical, electrochemical, volumetric and
chromatographic methods of analysis, modern chemical instrumentation, and
interpretation of data.
