Techniques in Quantitative and Qualitative Analysis
This module will introduce theoretical and practical fundamentals of qualitative and quantitative analysis. We will discuss sources of errors in chemical and instrumental analysis, and will consider practical aspects of sampling and calibration techniques. Lectures will look at theory and instrumentation of a range of spectroscopic techniques. Practical sessions will include quantitative analyses using volumetry, gravimetry, uv/visible spectroscopy, and state-of-the art inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy (ICP) techniques (OES and MS).
