Where CHEM-3302 counts

Required by 2 programs:

  • CHEM 4-YEAR BSc IN CHEMISTRY
  • CHEM BSc (HONOURS) IN CHEMISTRY

Read from the departments' own calendar pages, where 71 of 141 programs are only partly machine-readable, so treat these as a minimum rather than the full list. Confirm with an academic advisor.

Description

This course introduces students to the procedures of analytical chemistry including sampling, preparation of the sample for analysis, instrument calibration, and statistical treatment of data. Specific analytical methods discussed include potentiometry and atomic and molecular spectroscopy. This involves a series of analyses using instrumental techniques.

Requisite courses

CHEM-2302 [prerequisite(s)]; CHEM-3302L (lab) (must be taken concurrently).

Restrictions

Students may not hold credit for this course and CHEM-2301.
