A study of the fundamentals of instrumental analysis and laboratory techniques in analytical and related physical chemistry. Instrumental Analysis is the second part of an analytical chemistry sequence, which still involves separating, identifying, and determining the relative amounts of different components in a sample of matter, but incorporates advanced instrumentation in order to do so. Topics may include advanced data analysis methods and goodness-of-fit criteria, spectroscopic methods and instrumentation, mass spectrometry, electrochemistry, and liquid chromatography. The hands-on laboratory course focuses on development of correct laboratory work habits and methodologies for the operation of modern analytical instrumentation, such as high- performance liquid chromatography and infrared and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Three hours of lecture and three hours of lab per week. Requisites: Prerequisites: CHE 321 and and either PHY 234 and PHY 236 or PHY 274 and PHY 276. - Must be completed prior to taking this course.
