Chemistry 134 provides hands-on experience in quantitative analysis, the process by which the amount of some particular chemical in a sample is determined. Students will use gravimetric, volumetric, spectrophotometric, and chromatographic methods to analyze their samples. Experts from the fields of environmental chemistry, bioanalytical chemistry, forensic chemistry, and even winemaking will give presentations on their particular techniques.
Chemistry 134 is also the Writing in the Major course. Students will learn how to write communications, full papers, research proposals, proposal reviews, and book reviews, with chemistry as the particular focus.
Chemistry 134 has one four-hour lab session per week. Students need to register their preferences for lab day with the instructor before the class starts. The choices are Tuesday through Friday afternoons, 1:00-5:00 p.m., and Tuesday through Thursday evenings, 6:00-10:00 p.m. Email cmoylan@stanford.edu with your top four choices among these seven options, and the most popular choices will be selected.
