CHM 32100 - Analytical Chemistry I

Quantitative measurements on complex chemical systems that show matrix effects or require isolation of a compound prior to its determination; general approaches to quantitative problems at the trace level; critical comparisons of competitive procedures with emphasis upon principles of separation process, including chromatography; recognition and evaluation of possible sources of error; approaches for optimizing conditions so as to minimize time and/or effort required to attain prescribed levels of accuracy and precision.
