Analytical Chemistry 1

.Module Description

• Module Goals

This module aims to:

Make the student familiar with the statistical methods of processing data and calculating errors.

Make the student master concentration concepts, how to express concentration units and switch between them.

Make the student master the theoretical basis of the different classical Gravimetric analysis.

Introduce the student to theoretical basis of the volumetric analysis methods, their types and classification according to chemical reactions mechanisms used in volumetric analysis (neutralizing, precipitating, complexes formation and Redox).

Make the student skillful at deriving the titration curve and choosing the appropriate indicator for the titration end point.

Make the student apply the classical analytical ways in the pharmaceutical field, especially in quality control of the pharmaceutical preparations.

Assessment Methods

• Individual questions during the lecture, quick tests covering the complete period of the module, evaluation of scientific activities, and theoretical and practical tests. These constitute 40% of total mark of the
• A final exam constituting 60% of total

Module Syllabus

Classical methods of chemical analysis: Gravimetric methods (evaporation and precipitation), volumetric methods as well as the different kinds of titrations based on the type of chemical reaction (acid-base neutralizing titration, volumetric precipitating titration, complexes formation titration and the Redox titration).
