Course description - An advanced laboratory course concerned with the application of
instrumental methods to the chemical analysis of real sample types. The emphasis is on
student preparation, problem solving and initiative. Detailed instructions are not normally
provided for each experiment. This is a half semester laboratory course with required
meetings and four hours of laboratory every other week.
Course Objectives
Provide students with sound problem solving, laboratory and instrumental skills which
may be applied to different sample types.
Increase the independence of students and decision-making abilities in an analytical
laboratory situation.
Provide practical analytical method development experience.
Prerequisites - Chemistry 3100 and 3120 or Chemistry 3100 and 3170
Experiments
1 Headspace GC-MS Determination of Chloroform in Drinking water (GC-MS)
2 Analysis of Nicotine in E-cigarette Fluids by GC-FID (GC-FID)
3 Determination of Phosphate in a Cola Sample by Ion Chromatography (IC)
4 Comparison of Bioavailable and Total Iron in Soil by Atomic Absorption
Spectrophotometry (AAS)
5 Determination of Benzoic Acid in Soy Sauce by SPE and Reversed Phase HPLC (BA-
HPLC)
6 Determination of Acetaminophen and Caffeine in Commercial Medications by
Reversed Phase HPLC (AC-HPLC)
