 Introduction

This course is about the measurement of chemical systems using

instruments.

Each type of instrument has a unique set of strengths and

weaknesses that makes it wsuitable
ww for some measurements but
not others. .m
sub
bu
.in
Some techniques are best for qualitative determinations and
others are best for quantification.

During this course, you should develop an understanding of

these advantages and disadvantages and ultimately be able to
suggest suitable instrumental methods for particular problems.
