Overview

Analytical chemistry is an essential fundamental course for students of chemistry and related majors in colleges and universities. Analytical chemistry is a science to obtain information about the composition and properties of matter based on the development and application of various theories, methods, instruments and strategies. Analytical Chemistry is closely related to life sciences, material science, informational science, environmental science, resource science and et al., and has wide applications in areas related to people's daily lives, such as medical and healthcare, food safety, environmental protection, entry-exit inspection and quarantine, forensic identification and et al.

The course includes quantitative analysis, instrumental analysis and related experiments. The theory and methodology of quantitative analysis constitute the basis of analytical chemistry, which includes titration analysis and gravimetric analysis. The titration analysis specifically includes acid-base titration, complexometric titration, redox titration and precipitation titration. Instrumental analysis includes spectrophotometry, potentiometric analysis, atomic spectrometry and chromatography.

Through the study of this course, students are required to master the basic theory of analytical chemistry, basic calculation and quantitative analysis methods in a comprehensive and systematic way, learn to scientifically process analytical experimental data and evaluate analytical methods, and apply the theory to solve practical problems. Students are expected to master the basic skill in scientific research and gain rigorous scientific attitude and realistic style.
