Course content
This course gives an introduction to analytical chemistry and an overview of important analytical methods and their range of application within detection of inorganic and organic compounds. Important analytical quantitative techniques from classical methods, electrochemical methods, spectrochemical / spectrophotometric methods, mass spectrometry and separation techniques are reviewed. The course also includes theory on sampling, analyses of real samples, risk assessment of chemical experiments, important steps and procedures in analytical chemistry, and evaluation/interpretation of results. The course gives an overview of important use of selected classical and instrumental chemical quantitative analytical methods and a short introduction to their basic theory. As a part of this course, a project work is also to be carried out; relevant topics will be announced at semester start. There will be an excursion at the end of the semester.
Learning outcome
The course gives an introduction to inorganic and organic analytical chemistry, including basic analytical methods. The laboratory course gives the students experience with quantitative methods of working. After examination the student should be able to: - Explain the theoretical principles and important applications of classical analytical methods within titration (acid/base titration, complexometric titration, redox titration, precipitation titration), and various techniques within gravimetric and coulometric methods. - Explain the theoretical principles of selected instrumental methods within electroanalytical, spectrometric/spectrophotometric and mass spectrometry methods, and main components in such analytical instruments. - Explain the theoretical principles of various separation techniques in chromatography, and typical applications of chromatographic techniques. - Assess and suggest a suitable analytical method for a specific purpose, and evaluate sensitivity, important sources of interferences and errors, and also suggest alternative analytical methods for quality assurance. - Performing risk assessment of chemical experiments and chemical analytical activity - Performing classical analytical experiments, and make observations and assessments of important factors that could affect the analytical result. - Be familiar with calculations in analytical chemistry and method evaluation, and perform statistical evaluation of results from classical and instrumental chemical experiments and analyses. - Make scientific reports from chemical experiments and present the results in a transparent manner. - Use of digital tools to present chemical analytical work - Be able to plan for sampling and understand how different sampling methods and instrumental analytical methods can be used in speciation studies. - The HSE-lecture will give a general understanding in how to work safely in the laboratory.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures (2 hours per week), exercises through digtial learning platform (2 hours per week), project work (20 hours), laboratory work in teams (60 hours), and excursion. As a part of the laboratory work, there will be a compulsory (course-spesific) HSE-lecture before the exercises in the lab start up.
Expected work load in the course is 200-225 hours.
Compulsory assignments
- Approved laboratory course
- Approved group work
Further on evaluation
For re-sit exam or exam during a term without lectures in this course, written examination may be changed to oral examination.
Recommended previous knowledge
