DESCRIPTION AND GOALS
This course provides a basic introduction to chemical
analysis, including titrimetric analysis, treatment of analytical data, potentiometry,
spectroscopy and chromatography. The
student will learn the basic laboratory techniques and operations required to
obtain precise and accurate results for representative chemical analytical
methods. The general principles of the
methods, as well as the chemical reactions, interferences, and calculations
will be studied. There is a major
emphasis on chemical equilibrium as a basis for understanding the composition
of aqueous solutions and the design of analytical methods, and also on the
application of chemical knowledge and stoichiometric relationships to the
solution of problems in chemical analysis.
LECTURE SCHEDULE AND
Specific readings and problem assignments will
be posted on the course website. Please
attempt to complete assigned readings and exercises prior to lecture.

OTHER INFORMATION
Access
Individuals who have any disability or physical
condition (including pregnancy or allergy), which might affect their ability to
participate in this class are encouraged to inform their instructor at the
start of the semester. Adaptation of the methods, materials or testing may be
made as required for equitable participation.
This material is available in alternative

Minimum
Course Requirements and Records Policies
Minimum requirements to pass this course include
satisfactory performance on written examinations and related class work. Participation in class work such as quizzes,
completion of problem assignments both in and out of class will also be used as
criteria for evaluation. Homework
assignments submitted for evaluation must be your own work. If a conflict arises with an examination,
please see the instructor prior to the examination data to make alternative
arrangements. Midterm exams and other
graded materials not picked up by the student will be retained until the after
the final exam. Final exams will be
retained for one semester.
Academic
Integrity and Student Conduct Code
This course
will adhere to UMD's Student Academic Integrity Policy, which can be found at www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/integrity.
The instructor
will enforce and students are expected to follow the University’s Student Conduct Code (http://www.d.umn.edu/assl/conduct/code). Appropriate classroom conduct promotes an
environment of academic achievement and integrity. Disruptive classroom behavior that
substantially or repeatedly interrupts either the instructor’s ability to
teach, or student learning, is prohibited.
Disruptive behavior also includes inappropriate use of technology in the
classroom. Examples include ringing cell
phones, text-messaging, and watching videos, playing computer games, doing
email, or surfing the Internet on your computer instead of note-taking or other
instructor-sanctioned activities.
