Micro-syllabus in Analytical Chemistry

Course Description
This course is an introduction to the fundamental concepts and principles
of chemical analysis. It deals with the study of the qualitative and quantitative
determination of a specific component in matter with emphasis on classical
analytical method of gravimetric and volumetric analyses. Lectures will stress
Vision:

chromatographic techniques in chemical analysis. Basic statistical analysis
for error and data analysis is also included. Home-based activities and
laboratory simulations and video will replace the usual laboratory exercises
to emphasize laboratory techniques, data acquisition and analysis, and
making conclusions.
