Chemical Instrumentation

4.0 credits

This course will provide an understanding of the assembly and use of modern chemical instrumentation to address chemical problems covering a range of different physical and biophysical chemistry topics. Statistics, atomic absorption, UV-Vis spectrophotometry, enzyme kinetics, atomic emission, phosphorescence and time-resolved photochemistry, computational chemistry and NMR will be covered. Detailed lab reports are required for all laboratory experiments. CHEM231W fulfills the College's upper-level writing requirements. Two Lectures and two labs per week.
