Biochemistry 1
.Module Description
- Module Goals
This module aims to:
- Familiarize the student with the statistical methods used to process data and calculate errors.
- Familiarize the student with concentration concepts, how to express concentration units and switch between them.
- Enable the students to 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 reaction mechanisms used in volumetric analysis (neutralizing, precipitation, complexes formation and redox reactions).
- Make the student skillful at deriving the titration curve and choosing the appropriate indicator for the titration end point.
- Enable the students to apply the classical analytical methods in the pharmaceutical field, especially in monitoring and control of the pharmaceutical preparations.
- Assessment Methods
- Individual questions during lectures, quizzes covering the period of the course, evaluation of external activities, practical and theoretical testing. These constitute 40% of total mark of the
- A final exam constituting 60% of total
- Module Syllabus
The course provides the classical methods of chemical analysis:
- Gravimetric methods (evaporation and precipitation), volumetric methods
- Different types of titrations based on the type of chemical reaction: neutralizing (acid-base), volumetric precipitation, complexes formation and the redox.
The course also includes many solved exercises about classical methods of analysis in addition to unsolved problems with their answers provided.
