Link to request
departmental approval to enroll in CH 461 or CH 461H for Fall 2009. This
course is expected to be full so please submit your request early.
| This is the first
term of the Junior level Integrated Laboratory sequence for chemistry majors. Students
learn to integrate experimental techniques and ideas from analytical, inorganic, organic
and physical chemistry to solve multidiscipline problems. Small class size of
21 students. The co-requisites are CH 421 and CH 440 (can be taken
simultaneously with CH 461 lab). |

The Special Project is an important
component of CH 461. For a list of titles for other special projects done by
past Experimental Chemistry II students
click here. A real world sample is chosen by the student
for analysis. Student projects from the last few years include:
- HPLC Determination of Pseudoephedrine HCl and
Dextromethorphan HBr in common cold remedies.
- HPLC Determination of theobromine and caffeine in
chocolate and RedBull (uses SPE.)
