REQUIRED TEXT: Principles of Instrumental Analysis, 5th
Edition, Douglas A. Skoog
F. James Holler and Timothy A. Nieman.
Eight areas are planned to be covered
from the following topics.
GRADING: Final averages will be calculated by final test, laboratory experiments, the average of the eight Quizes/Homeworks/Take Home Exams , and class attendance.
and calls attendance:
Final test (15%) + Laboratory experiments(50%) + Quizes/Homeworks/Take Home
Exams (25%)+ class attendance (10%) =
final average
If you miss
three classes more days your grade will be based on Laboratory experiments
(55%) + (Homework and Quiz (30%)
and 0% for attendance
A = 90.0 +; B = 80.0 to 89.9; C = 70.0 to 79.9; D = 60.0 to 69.9; F = 59.9 and below
You are expected to join a group of CHEM 466 students in the class and participate in group activities to discuss class material and assigned problems.
Home work: Approximately eight Quizes/Homeworks/Take Home Exams are due in class on days specified by the instructor in class and on the course calendar.
COURSE ASSISTANCE: Some class recourses are available
online. Please check the web http://138.47.34.166/chem466/
Use user name (chemistry) and
password (chemisfun) if necessary. Fist time you login to my website please
submit your data to be used for reporting your grade, group work, e-mail,
and phone contact to use whenever necessary.
* CLASS ATTENDANCE : You should attend all classes regularly and punctually. Failure to do so may lead to a lower grade for the course and suspension. If you miss three or more days your (instructor reserves the right to giving excuse for medical excuse) Test average is counted based on Laboratory experiments (55%) + (Homework and Quiz (30%) and 0% for attendance.

Thermal Methods
COURSE OBJECTIVE:
An
introduction to the principles and methods for analysis of chemicals using appropriate
instrumentation. Some of the modern analytical methods will be
discussed in lecture. Theory and application of modern instruments in chemical
procedures. Standard spectroscopic methods including Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and ultraviolet
spectroscopy. Separation techniques using high pressure liquid chromatography
(HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC). Other topics relevant to advanced chemical
instrumentation such as mass
spectroscopy (MS), thermal analyses (TA) and X-ray analysis will also be covered.
Laboratory exercises will emphasize simple preparation and the use of spectrophotometers (AA, UV, VIS, IR, NMR), chromatographs (GC and HPLC), MS, X-ray, and thermal analytical methods.
Laboratory Component:
Ten laboratory experiments are selected from following categories.
Specific instructions will be given during the lab on Tuesdays and Thursdays at
2:00-6:15 pm.
Atomic Absorption
Experiments:
UV-VIS Spectroscopy Experiments:
FTIR Spectroscopy Experiments:
