Untitled document
After successful completion of this course, a student will be able to:
1.  Perform gravimetric analyses of known compounds and mixtures to
   accurately identify their chemical compositions.
2.  Perform titrimetric analyses of unknown monoprotic and polyprotic
   acids and bases.
3.  Select appropriate indicators, primary standards and indicator
   electrode systems to perform acid-base titrations.
4.  Identify and control the factors that influence experimental
   errors in gravimetric and volumetric analyses.
5.  Perform complexometric titration analyses of samples containing
   unknown metals.
6.  Perform precipitation titration analyses of unknown solutes.
7.  Perform oxidation-reduction titration analyses of unknown solutes.
8.  Operate such laboratory instruments as analytical balances,
   pH meters, ultraviolet/visible/infrared spectrophotometers, atomic absorption spectrophotometers, and gas
   chromatographs observing appropriate techniques and safety
   precautions.
9.  Apply the operating principles of potentiometric instruments
   including selective-ion electrode systems.
10. Apply the basis of the Beer-Lambert law, and the design and operating principles of modern spectrophotometers.
11. Apply the principles of liquid-liquid and gas-liquid chromatography to the quantitative
   analysis of unknown mixtures.
12. Utilize spreadsheet and graphing computer software to evaluate
   laboratory data, and word-processing software to communicate
   experimental outcomes.
13. Utilize computer interfacing to streamline the process of data
   collection, spreadsheet computation, graphing and curve-fitting.
