| Outline and Purpose of the Course |
Chemical analysis is used in many important works, from drug quality control to monitoring air pollution. This course teaches you the essentials of analytical chemistry. You will learn how to identify unknown chemical compounds and determine their quantity. You will become familiar with common analytical techniques widely used in laboratories and industry, and gain experience solving stoichiometric calculations, gravimetry, redox reactions, and acid-base equilibria. In the last part of the course, commonly used procedures in spectroscopy and chromatography will be introduced and explained at a basic level. This course is aimed at 1st and 2nd year students interested in learning about analytical chemistry in English. 3rd and 4th year students are also welcome. Lectures are presented in English. Discussion is in English and Japanese. |
