About this Unit
IN 2013 THIS UNIT WILL BE REPLACED BY 300832 - ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY. This unit will aim to develop within the student an understanding of, and an appreciation for, the fundamentals of analytical chemistry. The student will be exposed to the theory and practice of a range of chemical analyses with emphasis on ‘wet’ or ‘classical’ methods, and an introduction to some instrumental methods. An important component of this unit is to develop within the student laboratory skills in chemical analysis. Topics covered in this unit include: the evaluation of analytical data; sampling and sample preparation; unit operations in analytical chemistry; stoichiometry and equilibrium; gravimetric analysis; volumetric analysis; separation methods; spectroscopic methods of analysis; electrochemical methods of analysis; analysis of real samples.
