Freeman and Company, New York, 2007, Laboratory Manual Laboratory Notebook Gloves and Safety Glasses Calculator Access to a computer with Excel and a printer Course Objectives The main objective of CHEM 201 is to develop students understanding of the principles of analytical chemistry. More detailed objectives include: Tentative Lecture Schedule Tentative Lecture Schedule 1

2 Point Distributions for Grades STUDENTS WITH PHYSICAL OR LEARNING DISABILITES: Students with Disabilities Act are fully supported. Appropriate accommodation to any student with a disability registered with the Office of Students with Disabilities (OSD) who needs and requests accommodation. The OSD may be contacted to verify the presence of a disability and confirm that accommodation is necessary. Students with special needs are encouraged to inform the instructors as soon as possible to ensure that those needs are met in a timely manner. Analytical Chemistry Analytical chemistry deals with methods for determining the chemical composition of samples of matter. Qualitative analysis Information about the identity of atomic or molecular species or the functional groups in the sample (What). Quantitative analysis - Numerical information as to the relative amount of one or more of these components (How much). Classical Quantitative Analysis gravimetric volumetric (or titrimetric) Instrumental electroanalytical spectroscopic chromatographic Comparison of Different Analytical Methods Analytical Terminology heterogeneous homogeneous Analyte: the sample being analyzed 2

3 Method Classification of Analytical Methods According to Size of Sample Sample Weight (mg) Meso >100 >100 Semimicro Micro 1-10 <50 Sample Volume (µl) Constituents Method Constituents major >1% minor 0.1-1% trace <0.1% Ultramicro <1 Steps in a Chemical Analysis Sampling: representative Sample Preparation Analyzing the Sample Interpreting the Results Analyzing the Sample Step 1. Obtain a representative bulk sample. Step 2. Extract from the bulk sample a smaller, homogeneous laboratory sample. Step 3. Convert the laboratory sample into a form suitable for analysis, a process that usually involves dissolving the sample. Analyzing the Sample Step 4. Remove or mask species that will interfere with the chemical analysis. Step 5. Measure the concentration of the analyte in several aliquots. Step 6. Interpret your results and draw conclusions. Safe, Ethical Handling of Chemicals and Waste The primary safety rule is not to do something that you (or your instructor or supervisor) consider to be dangerous. proper clothing food & drink in lab NO WAY!!!!! disposal of solids and liquids always ask instructor for the proper procedure Calibration Curve/Standard Curve 3
