Description
The course is a single semester introductory theoretical course on analytical methodology. The course introduces the student to the basic elements of chemical analysis from sampling to the collection and statistical evaluation of analytical data. The course covers aspects of volumetric analysis including the application of primary and secondary standards and various titrimetric analysis techniques. The course also provides both a theoretical introduction to several instrumental analysis techniques including infrared spectroscopy, ultraviolet -visible spectroscopy, atomic spectrometry, electrochemistry and chromatographic methods of analysis.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Describe fundamental strategies for the performance of volumetric and instrumental chemical analyses.
2.
Explain the fundamental principles of a range of instrumental and classical methods of analysis.
3.
Describe the features of a range of analytical techniques.
4.
Express chemical compositions in a range of concentration units.
5.
Calculate chemical compositions from raw instrumental and non-instrumental analytical data.
6.
Evaluate the reliability of analytical data using simple statistical and quality control techniques.
Teaching and Learning Strategies
This module will be taught through a range of methodologies including lecture, practical, tutorial and EBL. The students will learn through engagement with the class materials / resources listed above and through the use of multimedia tools including moodle, internet sites and podcasts.
Module Assessment Strategies
The students will be assess in a number of forms including short questions, practical exercises, data handling and final examination.
These assessment will evaluate the students knowledge and understanding of the subject material. They will also allow the assessor to evaluate the ability of the student to resolve problems and to draw conclusions from experimental data.
