Topics include sample handling, ionization methods, MS/MS, and quantitative analysis.

First course in a two-semester sequence covering the fundamental principles and applications of chemistry designed for science majors. Topics to be covered include composition of matter, stoichiometry, periodic relations, and nomenclature. Laboratory exercises supplement the lecture material. Credit not allowed for both CHEM 1310 and CHEM 1211K.

A series of key topics in inorganic chemistry will be reviewed: acids/bases, redox processes, bonding and structure, transition metal chemistry, coordination complexes.

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.

Independent research conducted under the guidance of a faculty member.

Students will gain hands-on experience with analytical chemistry tools, techniques, methods, and instrumentation. We will also focus on experimental design, and data interpretation such as calibration methods and statistical analysis.  Students will perform experiments on research-grade instrumentation and learn to make decisions based on their data.
