ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY 1 ( MOD. B)
Knowledge of general and organic chemistry; basics of mathematics and physics. General Chemistry is a prerequisite for this exam.
The course will provide the theoretical background and the practical information related to analytical chemistry. The student will acquire knowledge regarding:
a) The analytical process, from the formulation of the analytical problem to the expression of the results;
b) Solving complex equilibria in solution;
c) Volumetric and gravimetric methods of analysis and their application;
d) Principles, hardware and application of the instrumental techniques presented during the course;
e) Quality in analytical chemistry and how to measure it;
f) Figures of merit of analytical methods;
g) Major operations in the analytical laboratory.
The skills the student is expected to acquire include:
a) Correct operation of the material in the analytical laboratory (glassware, balance, pHmeter, instrumentation)
b) Correctly applying a written method for the determination of an analyte (limited to the presented methodologies);
c) Problem solving ability for low difficulty analytical issues.
Module B
General guidelines and mandatory behaviors for the safety in the lab - good laboratory practice
Introduction to descriptive and inferential statistics
Laboratory experiments:
Volumetric methods of analysis: acid-base titrations, complexometric titrations, redox titrations, precipitation titrations
Instrumental methods of analysis: potentiometry – Ion Selective Electrodes (quantitative analysis), spectrophotometric analysis (UV-VIS and IR - quantitative and qualitative analyses), cromatographic analysis (HPLC - quantitative and qualitative analyses)
