CHEM 372 Analytical Chemistry II:  Instrumental Analysis (4)

As a second course in analytical chemistry, students are concerned with the theory and practice of 

instrumental methods for the separation, identification, and quantification of major classes of chemical substances.  

The design and function of different instrumental methods is assessed, along with relative strengths and weaknesses 

of each for solving a particular chemical problem. The laboratory is problem based, with students working in teams 

to develop and apply appropriate methods to address chemical analyses with real-world implications.

Prerequisites: 

• CHEM 375/376 Analytical Chemistry I:  Quantitative Analysis

• CHEM 353: Physical Chemistry I (or permission of instructor)

Required for:
