Course Description

This course covers the fundamentals of an Analytical Chemistry course that one might take as a Chemistry major or minor.  Ideally, students should have taken a year of General Chemistry as a prerequisite, as much of the material covered relies on a knowledge of equilibrium chemistry. 

Students in this course have access to ample supplemental material, all of which will be found in the Resource Folders. In addition to the 23 hours of lectures, downloadable audio mp3 files of each lecture are included. For many lectures, a Practice Assignment where you can test your understanding of the material can be found in the Resource Folder. Also included is an answer key for each Practice Assignment. Any graphs, figures or tables presented in the lectures are also available as downloadable files. The content of this course is as extensive as all of my other Chemistry courses are that are also available on Udemy.

This course assumes that you have completed General Chemistry I and ideally General Chemistry II college courses. While you will not need to be familiar with all topics covered in those courses, you should have a good understanding of equilibrium Chemistry.  As with my other intermediate courses that I have posted on Udemy, I have review sections for important chemical concepts that are needed for this course.   Since this course covers the fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry, most instrumental techniques such as Atomic Absorption, UV-Visible Spectrophotometry, Infrared Spectroscopy, Chromatography and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance are not covered. Section 15 is an introduction to Instrumental Analysis where I introduce colorimetric analysis and Beer's Law, which is the basis for most Instrumental methods.  Anyone who is interested in learning about various aspects of Analytical Chemistry may find this course beneficial, especially if you had no prior exposure to Analytical Chemistry in your studies.

It makes me undestand what I have to, that is something I didn't find in a previous course I tried.

fue muy bueno, muy buena explicacion, como estudiante de ING. Quimica Farmaceutica puedo decir que esta muy bien.

Being a under graduate chemistry as major discipline, since i am in the field of textile materials testing both chemical & mechanical parameters, having experience in handling instruments like HP-LC, GC-MS, GC-ECD, UV VISIBLE Spectrometer i find this course very useful

By Hussein Amer Jawdat on 11/15/2023

The most important thing about this course is that the instructor (Dr.K) is always there for you to answer your questions which is not the case with other instructors on Udemy in whose courses I am currently enrolled. I also loved how Dr.K always talks about the lab side of the topic even when he explains a theory for that specific topic .In addition , the course has a dedicated video section where the instructor shows how to perform an experiment(that was covered theoretically in a lesson) in the lab and this a nice complement to the course and without it the course would be meaningless. The course is also supplemented with a lot of in-class and assignment problems ,which is a great way to practice what is explained in the video lectures . I think the course would give a good foundation and enables us to take a more advanced course .However , it is still interesting and challenging. Please Dr.K , make another course whether it is an advanced course in analytical chemistry , inorganic chemistry ,physical chemistry .They would be a valuable addition to the Udemy community . Thank You!!! Hussein

The course is highly recommended for those who want to learn about this specific topic. The instructor is quite knowledgeable in this area, and the topics well explained.

By D Bird on 2/20/2023

I reviewed a few sections and found them to be extremely valuable, informative and well presented. There is a good attention paid to details, definitions and explanations. A definite "MUST TAKE" course.
