Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Class in English
- Description of the analytical workflow of the chemical analysis: sampling techniques and unit operations in analytical chemistry.
- Sample preparation techniques
- Principle of extraction
- General electrochemistry methods and Rancimat
- UV-Vis spectrophotometric Analysis
- Fluorimetric methods
- Errors in analytical chemistry
- Validation of the analytical method
- Case studies and applications.
Self-study material is provided on the following chapters already studied in BAC1 and BAC2 but still applied in the TPs:
- Gravimetric methods of analysis and applications.
- Refreshment of titrimetric methods (acid-base, precipitation, redox and complexometric titrations)
- Electroanalytical chemistry: voltammetry, potentiometry, and conductimetry
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 learning unit
After completing the course, the student is expected to:
- understand the analytical workflow
- demonstrate a good knowledge of the principles of quantitative analytical chemistry
- understand and explain theoretical notions related to basic procedures and instrumental methods, such as the UV-Vis. spectrophotometry; fluorimetric detection;
- Evaluate the performance of a chemical method of analysis and understand the source of errors
Demonstrate its ability to manage an analytical problem using the methods described during the practical work.
