CHEMISTRY 315Analytical Chemistry: Introductory

Instrumental Analysis

is it difficult to analyze a sample? it depends…how much sample available?

how many analytes need to be determined?what concentrations of the analytes are expected?

how accurate/precise does the result need to be?

how difficult is the matrix the analyte is in?

Science 345, 2014, 786-791

what analytical technique(s) should I use?

how do I need to extract analyte from the matrix?

how do I know that the results are accurate/precise?

Analytical Chemistry =

of Measurement Science

New directions in science are launched by new tools

much more often than by newconcepts. The effect of a tool driven revolution

is to discover new things that need to be explained.Freeman Dyson

develop new approaches to determine theconcentration of analytes in a sample of interestfaster, cheaper, in a more simple way, “greener”,lower detection limits, at physiologically relevantconditions…

Why are new analytical methods needed today?

if you miss a quiz + you want to write a make up quiz:• let me know the reason (ideally: next day or when you

return to UofC)• you must schedule a time with me to write make up

quiz within 1 week!

if a quiz will contain calculations I will announce it inlecture before the quiz is administered

Quiz dates: Jan 30th, Feb 13th, Mar 10th, Mar 24th, Apr 7th

• Quiz: material from last 4 lectures covered (i.e. materialcovered in 45 min before each quiz is not covered)

• Final Exam is comprehensive: everything covered inclass can be on final exam I will not answer e-mails“what is going to be on the final exam?”

Good luck…

sincere effort, intelligent directionand skillful execution; it represents

the wise choice of many alternatives.William A. Foster
