Indicative Content |
Theory
1. Spectroscopic Methods: The electromagnetic spectrum. Introduction to AAS, FES, FTIR and UV-VIS methods, including sample preparation, concentration range, industrial applications, optimum conditions, interferences and method validation.
2. Titrimetric Methods: Principles of acid-base, complexometric, redox and precipitation titrations; importance of indicator selection and concentration, and stoichiometric calculations.
3. Ionic Solutions and Electrochemical Cells: Nernst Equation.
4. Transition Metal Chemistry: The first series of transition elements. The metal (Sc-Zn); electronic configuration, chemical properties and uses.
5. Inorganic Chemistry: Systematic chemistry of the non-transition elements i.e. physical properties, group chemical reactions.
|
Practical
Introductory practicals covering the relevant health and safety of the laboratory and calculations.
Subsequent practicals will develop skills in the use of analytical instrumentation (AAS, FES, FTIR, UV-VIS, GC, HPLC, IC), analytical equipment (pH and ion selective electrodes and conductivity meter), and techniques ( titrimetric methods, sample preparation, method validation). Preparative inorganic chemistry and qualitative inorganic chemistry is also scheduled.
The practicals covered will reinforce and amplify the materials covered in the lecture course. A major emphasis will be placed on the interfacing of new and updated instrument software and industrial techniques.
