| CHIM9242-4 | Fundamentals of quantitative analytical chemistry
|
|
| Duration : | 18h Th, 54h Pr |
|
| Number of credits : |
|
|
| Lecturer : | Georges Lognay |
|
Language(s) of instruction :
|
| French language |
|
Organisation and examination :
|
| All year long, with partial in January |
|
Course contents :
|
| - Description of the preliminary steps of chemical analysis : sampling techniques and unit operations in analytical chemistry : preparing - decomposing or dissolving samples for analysis.
- Extraction of organic molecules, mineralisations.
- Techniques of extraction - mineralisation.
- Gravimetric methods of analysis and applications.
- Titrimetric methods (acid-base, precipitation, redox and complexometric titrations)
- Preparation of calibrated solutions.
- UV-Vis spectrophotometric Analysis
- Establishment of the performances of analytical methods.
- Case studies and applications.
The course is completed by a thematic chapter related to the validation of an analytical method.
Practical works
The practical works consist of laboratory experiments illustrating the main quantitative analytical methods described ( gravimetry, titrimetric methods, quantitative UV-VIS analysis, ion chromatography). Finally the students have to realize a personal laboratory work ( Problem Based learning: water analysis) |
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| The course is designed to inculcate fundamental knowledges dealing with stoechiometric analytical methods (non instrumental measures). It presents the different parts of protocols in analytical chemistry with emphazise on the definition of methodological performances.
After completing the course the student is expected to
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the principles of quantitative analytical chemistry (non instrumental methods).
- understand and restitute theorical notions related to the UV-Vis. spectrophotometry and spectrofluorimetry;
- assess the performances of a chemical method of analysis.
Demonstrate its ability to manage an analytical problem using the methods described during the parctical works. |
