Study Guide@lith

Valid for year : 2008

NKEC16	Organic Analytical Chemistry, 12 ECTS credits. /Organisk analytisk kemi/ For: BKM KA Kem
	Prel. scheduled hours: 180 Rec. self-study hours: 140
	Area of Education: Science Subject area: Chemistry
	Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G2
	Aim: To gain general and specific knowledge concerning the analysis of mainly low-molecular-weight organic compounds. The student will after the course cover many of the analytical techniques that will be used in future chemical courses. The student shall also be able to utilize scientific literature within the area. In order to achieve this it is necessary to: Theoretically and practically cover gas chromatographic techniques Theoretically and practically cover high performance liquid chromatographic techniques Theoretically and practically cover capillary electrophoresis Utilize mass spectrometry for the structural elucidation of unknown organic compounds Treat samples before the final instrumental analysis Develop analytical methods for trace element analysis, qualitatively as well as quantitatively
	Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered) Passed all courses during the first two semesters, Organic Chemistry and Analytical Chemistry S of the third semester. Participation in Analytical Chemistry K of the fourth semester. 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.
	Supplementary courses: Forensic chemistry
	Organisation: Theory of mass spectrometry and chromatography are presented in lectures. Some lectures are devoted to spectrometric problem solving. In the laboratory the students may use modern equipment for chemical separations and to study their possibilities and limitations. Analytical methods for the analysis of environmental problems or consumption products are developed in groups of 2-3 students.
	Course contents: Mass spectrometry concerning the function of the spectrometer, the most common mass spectrometric techniques, manual and computerized interpretation of mass spectra and combinations of chromatographic separation techniques and mass spectrometry. Chromatographic and electrophoretic high resolution techniques. The development of analytical techniques in theory and practice. Trace element analysis regarding concentration, separation, identification and quantification. Compulsory activities: All laborations and participation at seminars and educational visits.
	Course literature: Part 1: F.W. McLafferty and F. Turecek. Interpretation of mass spectra. University Science Books, California. Part 2: S. Lindsay. High Performance Liquid Chromatography.
