Prerequisite Modules:

Rationale and Purpose of the Module:

* To convey that spectroscopy (the interaction of light with matter) provides both a qualitative and quantitative method to determine molecular/atomic structure and concentration * To introduce analytic instruments and instrumental techniques

Syllabus:

SYLLABUS SPECTORSCOPIC METHODS: AAS ATOMIC ABSORPTION SPECTORSCOPY AES ATOMIC EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY UV/VIS ULTRA-VIOLET/VISIBLE SPECTROSCOPY IR INFRARED SPECTROSCOPY (& FTIR) CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHODS: PARTITION (GLC, HPLC, TLC) ABSORPTION (GC) ION-EXCHANGE SIZE EXCLUSION (GEL PERMEATION) ELECTROMETRIC METHODS: POTENTIOMETRIC (PH, ISE) CONDUCTOMETRIC

Learning Outcomes:

Cognitive (Knowledge, Understanding, Application, Analysis, Evaluation, Synthesis)

UPON COMPLETION OF THIS MODULE, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO: 1. DESCRIBE GENERAL PRINCIPLES AND TECHNIQUES OF QUANTITATIVE CHEMICAL ANAYLSIS, IN SPECTORSCOPIC(UV.VIS AND IR), CHROMATOGRAPIC (GC,HPLC,TLC AND IEC) AND ELECTROANALYTIC (ISE AND CONDUCTIVITY) AREAS 2. DISCUSS INSTRUMENTAL METHODS OF ANALYSIS BASED ON SPECTROCOPY, CHROMATOGRAPHY AND ELECTROCHEMISTRY 3. LABEL AND APPREICIATE THE FUNCTION OF THE COMPONENTS OF GAS AND LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHYS 4. LIST THE COMPONENTS OF AA SPECTROMETRERS AND RECOGNIZE THE APPLICATIONS AND LIMITATIONS FLAME AAS 5. APPLY THE THEORY AND TERMINOLOGY OF CHROMATOGRAPHY IN QUANTIFYING CHROMATOGRAPHIC PERFORMANCE. 6. SELECT AND CLASSIFY SUITABLE STATIONARY PHASES AND DETECTORS FOR PARTICULAR ANALYSIS IN GC AND HPLC 7. OPTIMIZING THE SEPARTATION PROCESS IN NORMAL/REVERSE PHASE L.C 8. APPLY BEER'S LAW AND PRACTICAL EXPERTISE IN THE USE OF AA, UV/VIS AND IR TO QUANTITATIVE ANALYSE UNKNOWNS 9. OUTLINE FUNCTIONAL GROUP ANALYSIS OF ORGANIC COMPOUNDS. 10. APPLY ISE-TECHNOLOGY TO QUANTIFY IONIC SPECIES USING A CALIBRATION GRAPH.
