Syllabus

Course Objectives

The aim of the course is to provide a basic knowledge of the principles of analytical chemistry which will be essential for the development/application of analytical methods for drug control and, in general, in the analytical field. At the end of the course, the student is expected to be able to apply the knowledge and skills acquired to the execution of qualitative-quantitative analytical assays, the processing of experimental data and the critical evaluation of the results. Students will be able to suggest the best methods for the preparation and analysis of real samples with the most appropriate chromatographic technique and to identify probable sources of error.

Course Prerequisites

No prerequisites needed

Teaching Methods

Face-to-face lectures that include calculations and interactive Active Learning activities such as showing short videos on the analysis of real samples, giving quizzes to verify the student learning, propose problems to be solved in class in team mode (team based learning) with the aim of expanding the contents of the course, developing the student's critical skills, as well as providing the student with a self-evaluation tool for the knowledge acquired. Slides with the lecture content will be uploaded in Kiro platform before each lecture. For students with specific needs, who cannot attend teaching activities in person and who have applied for Inclusive Teaching Methods, teaching material suitable for independent study will be available. If requested, self-learning can be supported by supplementary tutoring activities, and by dedicated meetings, also online, with flexible hours depending on the specific needs.

Assessment Methods

The final exam consists of a written exam (time: 2 h; allowed material: calculator, periodic table, statistics tables). The final mark is calculated over a total of 30 marks. The condition for passing the exam is that the student obtain a sufficient grade (≥ 18/30). The result of the exam will be published on the ESSE3 platform. Appropriate examination methods are foreseen for students who fall into the categories foreseen for DSA and BES.

Texts

In addition to the teaching slides that will be passed to the students in electronic format, the following texts are suggested for reference:
Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry, Douglas A. Skoog, Donald M. West, F. James Holler, Stanley R. Crouch, Brooks/Cole Pub Co
Quantitative Analytical Chemistry, Daniel C. Harris, W.H.Freeman & Co Ltd

Contents

The 5 steps of a typical quantitative analysis. Measurement, presentation and evaluation of analytical results. Statistical processing of experimental data. Uncertainty of measurement, accuracy and precision, significant figures and rounding of results.
