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

For:   BKM   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 Calculation tools for chemistry students(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.

Supplementary courses:
Analytical chemistry S, Analytical chemistry K and Organic Analytical Chemistry

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.
