Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Aim of the lecture course: Understanding the principles on qualutative and quantitative analytical chemistry: This includes mastering stoechiometry and quantitative thinking (handling numerical quantities!) in chemistry. Many instrumental methods and techniques are based on simple physical and chemical principles, including acid-base reactions, redox-chcemistry, electro-chemisty or optical absorbtion/emission. Understanding and mastering these principles should allow students to recognize advantages and dis-advantages of such methods as well as their limitations. They should understand why a particular technique is well-suited or unsuited for a specific problem and be able to apply the knowledge acquired in the lecture course to similar problems.
Contents:Principles of Analytical Chemistry e.g. Quantitative Chemistry (quantities AND their units), Stoechiometry, Chemical Equilibria, Acid-base and redox-reactions and their application in Analytical Chemistry, Fractionation and Separation methods and their importance in chromatography and electrophoresis, Instrumental methods: UV/Vis, IR, Raman, MassSpectrometry and NMR, Statistics, calibration and propagation of errors.

Assessment and permitted materials

Written exam, appx 1.5h, typically 15 very short questions including simple calculations (similar to those presented in the lecture), which represent a cross-section through the content of the lecture course.
Electronic calculators allowed

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

50% of exam questions must be correctly answered for a passing grade.
Grading scale:
100-87.5%: Excellent (1)
87.5-75%: Good (2)
75-62.5%: Adequate (3)
62.5-50%: Sufficient (4)
< 50%: Fail (5)

Critical assessment of results in terms of statistics.
