Course Description:
Analytical chemistry is a measurement science consisting of a set of powerful
ideas and methods that are able to get qualitative and quantitative information
about the matter. Qualitative analysis reveals the identity of the elements and
compounds in a sample, whereas quantitative analysis indicates the amount of
each substance in a sample.
