CHE 231 - Environmental Analysis

Semester Hours: 4

A study of the theoretical foundation and skills in the area of quantitative chemical analysis, including classical and modern methods, as applied to environmental measurements. Emphasis is given to the evaluation and presentation of data, sampling, equilibrium dynamics of analytically important reactions, experimental design, volumetric techniques, absorption and emission spectroscopy, electrochemical methods, analytical separations, and field measurements. All examples and laboratory exercises will focus on environmental applications of chemical analysis.

Prerequisite: CHE 117, and MTH 131, MTH 135, MTH 150, or BIO 206 (may be co-requisite) with grades of C- or better.
