  4. INTRODUCTION The course will cover aspects of • The quantitative and statistical treatment of experimental data, • theory of sampling, • gravimetric methods, • chemical methods of analysis; • Principles and applications of instrumentation to chemical analysis; • topics covered include electrochemistry, • spectroscopy, • mass spectrometry, and • chromatography. Three class hours. Four laboratory hours.  • Ref: The College of William & Mary Williamsburg, VA.

  5. Aim of the Course • To develop students generic skill in the area of Analytical Chemistry. • To develop their ability in analysing, estimating and minimising errors encountered in analytical data • To be able to understand simple laboratory techniques

  6. LEARNING OBJECTIVES • Objectives: • The primary objective of this course is to develop the tools and knowledge necessary to decide exactly what instrumental techniques will give you the most accurate and useful qualitative and/or quantitative information for a particular analytical problem. • A quick scan of the topics on the remaining pages of the syllabus should quickly make you aware of the wide variety of instrumental methods available to scientists, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Requirements are to become familiar with the basics of each technique.

  7. Course Materials • Fundamental Analytical Chemistry Skoog and West • Tips!!! Studying the reference materials and practising the questions at the end of each chapter will enhance your performance in the final examinations.

  8. SYMBOLS AND ACCRONYMS • k (lower case) - Rate Constant • K (upper case) - Equilibrium Constant • Ecell - Electromotive force of a cell • ΔG - Free Energy Change • ΔH - Enthalpy Change • ΔS - Entropy Change • α - Degree of Ionization

  9. Preparing for Examination • Past exam papers • Contacts with your course instructors • Your own notes • Advice from students who took the exam the previous years • Tutorial conversation between the learners. NB: Books, such as Analytical Chemistry by Skooge, Holler and West, will not be required to pass examination in this course, however, if you choose to read them, it will provide excellent additional information concerning the course.

  10. PRE - REQUISITES • CHM 101

  11. PREPARATORY QUESTIONS • Practice questions at the end of each chapter of the reference book will be helpful in preparing for exams. • Past examination questions and tutorial questions will also be useful.

  12. ASSESSMENT • Continuous assessment which includes Quiz, Assignment, Mid-Semester Test and Attendance will constitute 30% of overall assessment. • Examination will be 70%.

  13. Code of Conduct • EXAM MALPRACTICES AND PLAGIARISM WILL ATTRACT PENALTY SUCH AS FAILURE IN THE COURSE OR REFERRAL TO ODL DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE.
