Aims
The aim of this module is to enable students to understand the basic principles, concepts and theories of quantitative analytical chemistry. Through theoretical and practical study students will master some basic analytical methods, have an understanding of the development process, grasp the characteristics of quantitative analytical chemistry and recognise connections with other disciplines. Through experimental work students will master basic laboratory operation skills, learn to process experimental data and analyse results.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Develop an understanding of the basic principles, concepts and theories of quantitative analytical chemistry
2.
Develop the skills of titration operation and classical chemical analysis methods
3.
Work in teams to master basic instrumental analysis
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Introduction to quantitative analytical chemistry: classification of analytical chemistry; general procedures for quantitative analysis.
Errors and data processing in quantitative analysis: accuracy and precision.
Overview of titration analysis: acid-base titration.
Absorptiometry; principles of light absorption and the molecular absorption spectrum; colour reaction principle and conditions; measurement of absorbance; Lambert-Beer Law.
Additional Information:Students will be taught the theory in lecture sessions then have the opportunity to apply this knowledge by carrying out practical experiments in the laboratory. Students will have the opportunity to preview experiments before laboratory sessions.
