610-260 Analytical Chemistry and Spectroscopic Methods

Note: Special Requirement: Bound A4 notebook. Students must collect the "Analytical Chemistry" manual.

Credit points: 12.0

Coordinator: Dr J D Smith

Prerequisite: 610-121 and 610-122, or 610-141 and 610-142

Contact: 20 lectures ( 2 per week), 45 hours practical work and six tutorials.

Timetable: First semester

Objectives:

By the end of the teaching program in Analytical Chemistry the student should:

Comprehend:

• the methods of separation of mixtures into individual components;
• the main types of instrumental methods for the analysis of chemical materials, classical chemical techniques and their limitations;
• the method of calculation of errors;
• statistical treatment of data;
• the basic spectroscopic techniques necessary to determine molecular structure.

Have developed:

• quantitative and qualitative laboratory manipulative skills;
• skills to accurately and reproducibly analyse chemical materials, both single entities and mixtures;
• skills to determine the structure of chemical compounds with the aid of spectroscopic techniques.

Appreciate:

• the relative merits and complementarity of classical chemical and instrumental methods of analysis;
• the importance of rational, critical and independent thought in chemical science and the understanding of analytical chemistry.

Content:

Principles and applications of various forms of spectroscopy in analytical chemistry, including atomic absorption, infrared, nuclear magnetic resonance, ultraviolet and visible and mass spectrometry. Determination of molecular structure. Electrochemical and other analytical methods. Chromatography. Accuracy, precision and statistical treatment of data.

Assessment:

A 2-hour written examination at the end of the first semester. Satisfactory performance in both theory and practical work is required before credit can be granted for this subject.
