CHM-1030 General Chemistry II Laboratory

Credits: 2
This course introduces a number of modern and classical analytical methods including instrumentation and the computer. Measurement and its error are examined in detail due to the analytical approach taken in the course. We will analyze familiar household products where possible. Some of the experiments expand topics covered in CHM-1020 (kinetics, equilibrium constant, electrochemistry), while others build on topics from CHM-1010.

Prerequisite(s): CHM-1010; CHM-1020 completed or concurrent.

Corequisite(s): CHM-1020 completed or concurrent.

Course Outcomes

Analyze scientific data for physical and chemical systems with tools such as graphing calculators and spreadsheet programs.
Report results of laboratory measurements with appropriate precision and accuracy, and in proper scientific format.
Quantify measurement error with statistical measures.
Evaluate the accuracy and precision of multiple measurements.
Analyze data from techniques including potentiometric, photometric, conductometric and complexometric methods, and electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques.
Compare methods of chemical analysis.
