Skoog, West, Holler. Chimica Analitica: una introduzione. EdiSES, Napoli.
Learning Objectives
Knowledge acquired:
The course deals with the general basis of analytical chemistry in order to understand the mechanisms, the errors and the problems connected with the classical volumetric quantitative analysis. The principal instrumental methods (optical, chromatographic and electrochemical) are described and discussed.
Competence acquired (at the end of the course):
Estimate an analytical methods from the point of view of procedure, as regards the optimum conditions, and of errors which may be effected; choice of a suitable instrumental method for solving analytical problems.
Skills acquired (at the end of the course):
Manual capability in the laboratory regarding the main classical volumetric analytical techniques; analysis results with respect to the starting material including error evaluation, knowledge of the main instrumental techniques.
