Welcome to CH111/181 Intensive General and Quantitative Analytical Chemistry Lab. This is the first semester of a year-long laboratory course intended for chemistry concentrators, biochemistry concentrators, physical/biological science majors, and interested students who require a one-year intensive course in chemistry.
By the end of this course sequence students will (i) be able to properly use analytical glassware and associated lab equipment, (ii) understand the basic principles and operation of absorption spectrophotometers, (iii) be able to use basic statistics and graphing software to analyze experimental data, (iv) start developing an understanding of the chemical principles behind various analytical methods (such as gravimetric analysis and titrations), and (v) be introduced to concepts that are part of the process of scientific communication – preparing tables and figures, outlining an argument, and preparing a scientific paper.
