CHM 312 - Analytical Chemistry II

Course unit(s): 1
Meets requirement: W
Prerequisite(s): CHM 311 - Analytical Chemistry I or permission of the instructor.
Theory, instrumentation, and applications of instrumental methods of analysis involving separations and interaction of electromagnetic radiation with matter. Principles of analytical separation methods are explored, including gas, liquid and supercritical fluid chromatographies, and capillary electrophoresis and electrochromatography. Topics on atomic and molecular spectroscopy include atomic absorption, emission and fluorescence, ultraviolet-visible, molecular fluorescence and phosphorescence, Fourier transform infrared, and mass spectrometry. In addition, techniques are reinforced through practical experience in a well-equipped instrumentation laboratory. Three hours of lecture and one three hour laboratory per week.
