Analytical Chemistry
7.5 ECTS creditsThe course consists of a theoretical part and an experimental part.
The theoretical part covers the following subjects:
analytical chemical nomenclature, concepts and methodology (calibration and validation of analytical methods, sampling errors, bias, accuracy, precision and detection limits)
basic applied statistics (confidence intervals, hypothesis testing with F- and t-tests, outlier detection, linear regression) applied to chemical analysis data
molecular spectroscopy (UV/VIS, IR and fluorescence spectroscopy)
atomic spectroscopy (emission and absorption in flames and plasmas)
electroanalytical techniques (pH and other ion selective measurements, voltammetry and amperometry, coulometry and conductivity measurements)
gas and liquid chromatrography and capillary electrophoresis
short introduction to the field of mass spectrometry
In the experimental part, the theoretical subjects are applied to environmental, food and bioanalytical problems in laboratory exercises.
