This course will involve discussion of the sampling methods
used in analytic al chemistry and estimation of errors. Titration and
gravimetric techniques, ultraviolet - visible and infrared spectrometry,
gas-chromatography, high pressure liquid chromatography, electrophoresis, ion
exchange analysis and solvent extraction techniques will be described.
Specific topics include the various types of
photometers and their differences, emission and absorption spectroscopy,
non-flame devices such as, characteristics of IR absorption bands and
chromophoric groups, Beer’s Law and its
limitations, quantitative analysis of mixtures and photo metric titrations,
flame photometric analyses, electrochemical methods such as conductivity,
potentiometry and polarography.
