In this course, students design and execute targeted chemical analyses using modern instruments such as chromatographs (gas and liquid) and spectrometers (emission and mass). Students also use statistical methods to examine the quality of laboratory data and report on their experimentation in concise scientific writing for a variety of target audiences. Finally, students learn to perform basic instrument maintenance and troubleshooting. A lab fee is required.Prerequisites: CHM 1170 General Chemistry II with a grade of C- or better.
