CHIM9238-2  Analytical chemistry

Duration :  18h Th, 30h Pr
Number of credits :  
Bachelor in bioengineering, 2nd year4
Lecturer :  Georges Lognay
Language(s) of instruction :  
French language
Organisation and examination :  
Teaching in the second semester
Course contents :  
Theoritical complements of chemical equilibria : Theory of activity, pH and buffer solutions calculations (complements) pH measurements and description of the electrodes , complexes and complexometric titrations (hardness measurements), qualitative characterization of the elements in the laboratory . Introduction to the chromatographic methods of analysis : principles, classification of chromatographic techniques, and basic calculations (chromatographic parameters). Qualitative analysis of organic molecules. The course also integrates complementary elements of Mineral Chemistry via practical laboratory works.
Learning outcomes of the course :  
The course provides students with an understanding of the principles and basic techniques of chemical analysis (mineral products and organic molecules) and contributes to extend their experimental skill. After completing the course the student is expected to - understand the theorical and practical aspects of pH measurement; - master the complexation equilibra and their analytical applications; - demonstrate basic knowledges and know-how for the characterisation of elements and organic molecules. - understand the general principles of chromatography.
-develop a know how and knowledges in the characterization of mineral elements and organic molecules ( tests and chromatography)
-be able to make a clear and complete analytical report
