The course involves a study of the principles and theories important to the practice of analytical chemistry. It involves a discussion of the techniques, methods and instrumentation involved in determining the amount of constituents in samples. Particular attention is given to stoichiometric problems.
The laboratory work covers calibration of instruments, volumetric and gravimetric methods especially hose analyses encountered in industries. Emphasis is placed on correct laboratory procedures and techniques.At the end of the semester, the students must have:
1.) Demonstrate understanding of the importance of inorganic chemistry;
2.) Explain the composition of chemical compounds;
3.) Describe the properties of elements in the periodic table;
4.) Use bonding theories to explain the structure of compounds;
5.) Apply the fundamental concepts of chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry in chemical reactions particularly aqueous solutions; and
6.) Discuss the reactions of elements relative to its group properties.
