CHM2201 Analytical Chemistry

Analytical Chemistry is an introductory course in analytical chemistry which emphasizes quantitative and qualitative methods of analysis. This introductory analytical course will particularly explore topics such as experimental design, sampling, calibration strategies, standardization, optimization, statistics, and the validation of experimental results. These topics are important in developing good experimental protocols, and in interpreting experimental results. 

Course Objectives
By the end of the course, learners should be able to:

• Describe the different sampling methods
• Differentiate between accuracy and precision
• Identify possible causes of errors in experiments
• Describe various titrimetric methods of analysis
• Carry out acid-base and argentiometric titrations
• Carry out simple analysis of cement, beverages, and water

Learning outcomes

• Analytical chemistry stretches into all branches of chemistry and other science disciplines. This course is expected to introduce the student to the field of analytical chemistry and the unique perspectives that analytical chemists bring to the study of chemistry.
