Analytical Chemistry

Education facts

Code: KEGB42

The course comprises two parts: a theoretical component and a practical component. The theoretical part covers the following concepts and topics related to the various learning outcomes: i) Analytical-chemical nomenclature and methodology (calibration and validation of analysis methods, sampling, accuracy, precision, outliers, detection limits, measurement uncertainty) and basic applied statistics (confidence intervals, hypothesis testing with F-test, t-test, and Grubbs test, linear regression analysis). ii) Quantitative applications of molecular spectroscopy (UV/VIS, fluorescence, IR, and NIR spectroscopy) and atomic spectroscopy (emission and absorption in flames and plasmas). iii) pH and other ion-selective measurements, amperometry, coulometry, and conductometry. iv) Chromatographic separation methods (gas, liquid, size exclusion, ion exchange, and ion chromatography) and capillary electrophoresis. v) Quantitative applications of mass spectrometry in combination with chromatography and capillary electrophoresis. In the practical component, some of the instrumental techniques are applied for quantitative analysis in process, environmental, and food analysis.
