Analytical Chemistry
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course is divided into a theoretical and a laboratory unit.
The theoretical unit deals with the following concepts and components related to the learning outcomes:
i) analytical chemical nomenclature and methodology (calibration and validation of analytical methods, sampling, accuracy, precision, outliers, detection limits, measuring uncertainty) and basic applied statistics (confidence intervals, hypothesis testing with F- and t-tests and Grubbs' test, linear regression analysis);
ii) molecular spectroscopy (UV/VIS, fluorescence, IR, and NMR spectroscopy) and atomic spectroscopy (emission and absorption in flames and plasmas);
iii) pH and other ion selective measurements, amperometry, coulometry, conductometry;
iv) gas and liquid chromatrography;
v) mass spectrometry
In the laboratory unit some of the instrumental techniques are applied to quantitative analyses in the areas of process chemistry, environmental chemistry, and food production, and to qualitative chemical analyses.
