BPS2031 Analytical methods 1: Principles and applications

When you finish this unit, you should be able to:

1. 1

   Describe the analytical process and fundamental analytical concepts (e.g., selectivity, experimental error) and apply them to practical analytical measurements.

2. 2

   Quantitatively determine the chemical composition of aqueous electrolyte solutions using gravimetry and titrimetry and interpret the results in terms of theoretical models of chemical solution equilibria.

3. 3

   Explain the physical principles and instrumental characteristics of selected spectroscopic analytical techniques.

4. 4

   Apply theoretical principles of separation processes and chromatography to predict and rationalise the outcome of practical analytical separations.

5. 5

   Safely and competently conduct analytical measurements in the laboratory.
