This course focuses on the techniques and principles used to identify and quantify matter. Some of the topics include:
•Introduction to Analytical Chemistry: general overview of analytical methods and their applications.
•Qualitative Analysis: this entails methods used to determine the chemical composition of samples.
•Quantitative Analysis: here techniques that measure the amount of specific substances within a sample are looked at.
•Classical Methods: Gravimetric and volumetric analysis.
•Instrumental Methods: Spectroscopy (UV-Vis, IR, NMR, Mass Spectrometry), chromatography (HPLC, GC), and electrochemical analysis.
•Data Analysis: Statistical methods, calibration curves, and error analysis.
•Sample Preparation: Techniques to prepare samples for analysis, including extraction and purification.
•Applications: Real-world applications in environmental science, pharmaceuticals, forensics.
•Laboratory Skills: Hands-on experience with analytical instruments and laboratory techniques.
The course usually aims to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as it emphasizes on accuracy, precision, and the importance of maintaining rigorous scientific standards.
