This course introduces you to two branches of chemistry called electrochemistry and analytical chemistry.Electrochemistry is the study of exchange of electrical and chemical energy and has important applications in every life from the battery that powers your portable radios to electrorefining that produces the copper pipes carrying your drinking water. Those electrochemical processes utilize oxidation and reduction reactions.
Analytical chemistry is a branch of chemistry of making qualitative and quantitative analysis.This topic deals with analysis of materials delivered to laboratory by a customer.The material may be an unknown material to be identified and probably quantified.Carrying either of the two involves many steps which are outlined in this course. Analytical chemistry requires a broad background knowledge of chemical and physical concepts.
In this course we will start by presenting the general information on the aqueous solutions then the redox reactions, electrochemical cells,electolysis and corrosion phenomena. Analytical chemistry will start with topic 5 Which is the role of analytical chemistry and will continue with other topics including, analytical methodologies, theory of acid and base, stoichiometry and molar concept,buffer solution, salt hydrolysis,solubility products and some traditional methods of chemical analysis.
Welcome.
