Basic courses in chemistry about at least 30 credits.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student should be able to:
- identify and describe the steps that are included in a complete analytical method
- account for some common sampling strategies for inorganic and organic compounds
- account for and use sample preparation methods for inorganic and organic compounds
- account for and use analytical methods based on liquid and gas chromatography, electroanalysis, methods based on atomic and molecular spectroscopy and mass spectroscopy and be able to account for applications regarding sample type, component analyse and concentration range for these methods
- account for measurement quality at chemical determinations (uncertainty, quality control) and apply relevant statistical methods on chemical data
- choose and apply appropriate separation - and detection method to solve simple problems
Content
Sampling models and sample preparation for determination of both molecule - and element content in different sample types.
Analytical aspects on common methods within electroanalysis, atomic and molecular spectroscopy and separation methods.
Calibration methods. Quality aspects on chemical measurements. Statistical treatment of measurement data by means of different hypothesis testing (for example t-tests, F-tests and ANOVA) and linear regression. Methods for determination of uncertainty.
Instruction
The teaching is given in the form of lectures, laboratory sessions, seminars, computer exercises and possible study visit. Course introduction, laboratory sessions, seminars and study visit are compulsory.
Assessment
Written examination during the course and/or at the end of the course, 5 HE credits. For the course to be graded, it is required that the laboratory work and computer exercises have been presented and approved. Compulsory parts in the course are marked to 5 HE credits. The final grade corresponds to a weighed average of the results from the written examination and the laboratory work.
