Mid-term date: Wednesday March 14, 2012 Calendar Course Description A continuation of Instrumental Analytical Chemistry I. This course deals with the theory and applications of electroanalytical chemistry, separation methods involving chromatography, thermal and radiochemical methods. A range of analytical techniques is examined including potentiometry, coulometry, voltammetry, gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, capillary electrophoresis, and differential thermal analysis.

Course Design Lectures will be held twice a week for 80 minute periods. Students are responsible for all material presented in lectures, in addition to assigned readings, quizzes and assignments. The major sections to be covered in lectures are summarized below. This course deals with instrumental methods of trace chemical analysis. The main objective is to understand the scope and use of instruments in chemical analysis and learn the theory of operation for a range of instruments. Instrumental analysis involves three major methods (Spectroscopic, Electrochemical and Separation). This course will follow on from CHEM 3530U and will focus on electroanalytical, spectroscopic and thermal/radiochemical methods. Selected applications of the methods will be outlined in addition to the basic theory and instrumentation.

WebCT Site: - There is a website for this course on WebCT (http://www.uoit.ca/connect/). - All important information related to this course, including this course outline, announcements, test schedules, lab manual and lecture notes will be posted there. - The site will be updated regularly so visit it frequently. - It is recommended that all questions related to course materials should be directed to the WebCT discussion boards so that all students can benefit from the answers. - Students are encouraged to discuss and/or answer each others questions in a professional manner. Labs - Because chemistry is, at its very heart, an experimental science you must achieve a grade of 12.5/25 on the laboratories to receive a passing grade in the course. - A four hour laboratory session will be held weekly to allow students sufficient time to gain knowledge and experience in most types of instruments. - A laboratory manual will be provided in the first session. - The Senior Laboratory Instructor is Dr. Richard Bartholomew (richard.bartholomew@uoit.ca) located in UA4070. - Students are required to work independently on their own lab reports - Safety goggles and lab coats are mandatory for all labs. - Take pride in your labs!

Assignments - 3-4 assignments will be given throughout the course. - Assignment will be handed out in class and are due approximately one week later. - Students are required to work independently on their own assignments. Independent Study Project - An independent study project will be given out during the laboratory sessions and will require the student to design an instrumental analytical experiment on a topic relating to spectroscopy, chromatography, or electroanalytical chemistry. - At the completion of the experiment, the student will present a seminar giving an overview of the technique employed. - Further details will be given in class. Expectations - This is an advanced third year course. - The student is expected to read and understand a certain amount of assigned course material that is not covered in detail during lectures. - Additional study-time is required beyond the lecture/consultation hours, and this is a students responsibility. Academic Integrity - It is dishonest to turn in as your own any work which has been copied from the work of someone else. - Please consult the university calendar for information on academic misconduct: http://www.uoit.ca/EN/main/11258/231915/academic_calendar_2008_2009.html

Students with Disabilities - The Centre for Students with Disabilities (REACH office) assists students with temporary or permanent disabilities who require accommodations to be made in order to be successful at post secondary education. - Students who have accommodation letters should consult with the instructor as soon as possible. - More information can be found here: http://www.dc-uoit.ca/EN/main/csd.html Class Policies - Late assignments will not be accepted. - Extensions and differed exams will only be permitted if a valid excuse is given. Please consult the science webpage (http://science.uoit.ca) or Science Academic Advising officefor complete UOIT policy details. - Course evaluation forms must be completed - Students should regularly check the course WebCT website as important course related materials will be posted there on a regular basis. - I will attempt to post my slides to WebCT at least 1 hour before class, but this is NOT GUARANTEED!
