Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Physico-chemical methods of analysis
To present with some details, the most current methods of analysis, based on physical processes. The aspect mainly developed is the quantitative aspect with an introduction to Quality assurance. This course however does not approach NMR, matters which belong to other courses
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Physico-chemical methods of analysis
Good knowledge of the basic concepts of atomic and molecular spectroscopy.<br /><br /> Good knowledge of the basic concepts of electrochemistry

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Physico-chemical methods of analysis
Theoretical courses (15h): 1st quadrimester. Face to face. Copies of lecture slides are available. Short movies of analytical methods have been recorded and are available on the plateform e-campus. A selection of analytical methods (polarography, GC-MS, ATR-FT-IR, Raman) are directly showed in live during the course to illustrate the theoritical concepts.
The rehearsals concerns certain parts of the theoretical course, illustrated by exercises. The subject covered during the rehearsals is mainly electrochemistry. Quantitative approaches by internal standard and isotope dilution are also discussed.
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Recommended or required readings
Physico-chemical methods of analysis
- Full notes were written and are available for the spectral methods of analysis. They present the basic concepts which will be exposed.
- Moreover, the course is presented via a powerpoint provided to the students.
- The students can obtain additional information, in particular in the excellent work: ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY by SKOOG, WEST and HOLLER, DeBoeck University, 3rd edition (2015)
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Physico-chemical methods of analysis
L'évaluation comprend :
Pour les Bloc 3 chimie :
Un examen sur les travaux pratiques (examen écrit, hors session, en décembre) et une présentation orale de la manipulation basée sur un article scientifique (par groupe de deux, hors session en décembre)
L'examen de janvier en présentiel est divisé en deux parties,
- La partie 1 (écrit, durée 4h00) correspond à un examen écrit reprenant des exercices ainsi que des questions théoriques sur la matière liée à l'électrochimique;
- La partie 2 (oral) correspond quant à elle à un examen oral sur la partie spectrométrie/spectroscopie
La partie électrochimie, sera évaluée à l'aide d'un examen écrit composé de deux parties distinctes :
- - Partie 1 (durée 1h00) : un QCM portant sur les notions théoriques vues au cours et reprises dans le syllabus ;
- - Partie 2 (2h45-3h00): une série d'exercices à résoudre.
La partie spectrométrie/spectroscopie fera l'objet d'un examen oral à distance par visioconférence
La répartition des points sur la cote finale est la suivante : - pour l'examen de janvier : 70%, dont 30% pour l'électrochimie et 40% pour les méthodes physico-chimiques d'analyse. - Pour les travaux pratiques (Bloc 3 chimie): 30% y compris l'examen de travaux pratiques et la présentation orale de la manipulation.
En cas d'échec final (cote globale inférieure à 10/20), d'une année à l'autre, sont dispensés des TP, les étudiants les ayant réussis avec un minimum de 10/20
Pour les Master 1 ingénieurs
En présentiel Un examen écrit de 4h en janvier portant sur les méthodes physiques d'analyse (Spectrométrie de masse et spectroscopie)
En distanciel
Un examen écrit de 4h en janvier portant sur les méthodes physiques d'analyse (Spectrométrie de masse et spectroscopie)
Work placement(s)
Physico-chemical methods of analysis
Laboratory work (65h).
During these TDs students will have the opportunity to use electrochemical methods:
- The classical polarography of Pb in a Zn oxide solution
- The DPP of Cd in a Zn oxide solution;
- Amperometry of Pb from a synthetic solution;
- Anodic stripping of Pb from a white wine sample;
- Potentiometry du Ca from a synthetic solution;
This activity is part of the teaching module and is mandatory. The student who does not participate at the entire activity and/or provided their reports outside the deadlines fixed will not be admitted at the exam.<br /><br /> ///<br /><br /> see TP part
