KJM2300 Analytical Chemistry I Course description

Ingen utover opptakskrav.

The course builds on KJFP1300 General Chemistry, KJFP1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry.

Approved laboratory course in KJPE1300 General Chemistry, KJM1400 Organic Chemistry and KJM1500 Physical Chemistry, or corresponding qualifications.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:

Knowledge

The student knows the principles that form the basis for:

• statistical processing of analytical measurement data
• quantitative methods with the use of internal and external standards and standard addition
• acid and base equilibria, preparation of buffer solutions
• molecular spectroscopy techniques such as UV-VIS and fluorescence spectroscopy
• atom spectroscopy techniques such as flame spectroscopy and ICP
• detection limit determination, sources of noise in spectroscopy and chromatography
• chromatographic separation, descriptions of column efficiency and separation ability
• chromatographic techniques such as gas chromatography and liquid chromatography
• quality control and quality assurance in a chemical laboratory

Skills The student is capable of:

• performing quantitative analyses in accordance with specific procedures
• calibrating and adjusting common measurement instruments
• assessing sources of error and calculating the uncertainty in analytical measurements
• choosing the appropriate laboratory equipment and using it correctly
• using different chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques and using the instrumentation correctly to produce reliable measurement data
• using software to aquire and process data from chemical instrumentation
• using Excel in data processing and interpretation

General competence

The student:

• has basic knowledge of quality requirements in a chemical laboratory
• is capable of performing quantitative analyses using different quantification techniques and separation and measurement methods
• has insight into statistical methods for the processing of chemical measurement data
• has knowledge of how accuracy and precision in measurement results are affected by sources of error and uncertainty in instrumentation, procedures and work techniques
• has insight into the application, limitations and functioning of spectroscopic and chromatographic methods

Auditorieundervisning og obligatoriske regneøvinger med veiledning på sal. Obligatorisk laboratorieøving.

Følgende arbeidskrav er obligatorisk og må være godkjent for å fremstille seg til eksamen:

• 12 av 20 regneøvinger
• 2 av 3 lab. øvinger i mekanikk

Individual written exam, 3 hours.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, oral examination may be used instead of written. If oral exams are used for resit and rescheduled exams, the exam result cannot be appealed.

A handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations. If the calculator's internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

Ingen.

I forbindelse med avsluttende vurdering benyttes en karakterskala fra A til E for bestått (A er høyeste karakter og E er laveste) og F for ikke bestått.

The course has an overlap of 10 credits with KJTF2311 and KJTF2310.

Under the rule that students have three attempts to take an exam, attempts in equivalent courses also count.
