NKEB05 Analytical Chemistry T, 6 ECTS credits.
/Analytisk kemi T/

For:   KA   Kem  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 54
Rec. self-study hours: 106

  Area of Education: Science

Subject area: Chemistry

  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
The aim of the course is to give fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge in the field of volumetric analysis (titrations). After completing this course the student should be able to:
  • Explain the chemical principles of volumetric analyses.
  • Plan, perform and evaluate chemical analyses based on titrations.
  • Write reaction equations and perform calculations for volumetric analyses.
  • Calculate and analyse titration curves.
  • Construct logaritmic pH diagrams and use these to describe acid-base titration equilibria.


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
General Chemistry 1, General Chemistry 2, Organic Chemistry 1, Inorganic Chemistry and Beräkningsverktyg i kemi (or equivalent courses).

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, lessons, laborations, computer exercises and short written tests. The laborations and computer exercises are compulsory.

Course contents:
General aspects of analytical chemistry. Acid-base equilibria and pH graphs (logarithmic diagrams). Quantitative chemical analysis based on volumetric methods: acid-base, redox, complexometric and precipitation titrations �?" theory and applied laborations where �?oreal-world�?� samples are analysed. Titrations with indicators and potentiometric titrations. Experimental errors. Microsoft Excel as a tool in analytical chemistry.
