Course description and aims

  This course focuses on the principles and concepts of quantitative chemical analysis including sample pretreatments and instrumental analyses. The final goal of this course is for students to gain the ability to design and devise analytical methods with knowledge that they acquire in the classes.
  Students will understand the principles and chemical bases of methods involved in chemical analyses, e.g. separation, sample enrichment, spectrometry, electrochemical measurements etc. They are also expected to know limitations in up-to-data analytical methods and to consider how to overcome current problems.

Student learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students will:
1. Know the theoretical and experimental features of basic methods and concepts involved in chemical analyses.
2. Understand not only the principles of the methods but also methodological characteristics and limitations.
3. Know how to enhance “sensitivity” and “selectivity” of analytical methods.
4. Be able to design and construct an analytical scheme based on students’ knowledge.

Keywords

Instrumental analysis, Sample pretreatment, Separation, Spectrometry, Electrochemical methods

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

1) At the beginning of each class, solutions to homework are reviewed.
2) Students are given exercise problems as homework in each class.
3) Before coming to class, students should check what topics will be covered in the class and are required to learn them on reference books and internet.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
