CHE 3330 - QUALITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS


credits: 3.0
Course will  examine the chemical composition of a sample in order to determine its composition. The presence of various elements or groups of elements, such as functional groups, that are present in the sampling population will be determined.  Explores in depth the use of modern instrumentation spectra and results for advanced analysis and structure determination problems. Develops a high level of proficiency in the interpretation of nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, and mass spectrometric equipment, data that is obtained from advanced application of such instruments.  Objectives: A) Identify functional groups from Instrumental Spectra; B) Explain the various types of qualitative instruments available to chemists; C) Explain how qualitative instruments function; D) Determine the overall structure of a compound based on instrumental data. Method of Instruction: A combination of lecture, small group discussion, and in-class problems. Method of Evaluation: Four Exams  50%, Homework 30%, and Final 20%.

Prerequisite(s):  CHE 2010  and CHE 2010L .
