Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry BIPH 1308

Course description:

This course is designed to give students an understanding of the fundamental concepts and applications of volumetric analysis based on acid-base, precipitation, complex formation, and oxidation-reduction reactions.   Also the principles of analytical measurements including the fundamental principles of qualitative and quantitative analysis and data analysis. Therefore three major Parts of the course follow the brief introduction in the Pharmaceutical Analytical Chemistry.
  • Part I Covers the data handling of analytical chemistry.
  • Part II Covers the principles and application of chemical equilibrium systems in quantitative analysis.
  • Part III Brings together several chapters dealing with classical gravimetric and volumetric analytical chemistry.

Course Aims:

The aims of this course are to provide students with basic classical analytical techniques for quantitative and qualitative analysis.

Course outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:  
  • Know all branches of chemistry draw on the ideas and techniques of analytical chemistry.
  • Teach the principles and methods of practical analytical chemistry.
  • Understand and be able to apply the fundamental principles of analytical chemistry.
  • Recognize the introduction in practical analytical chemistry, which is the scope of quantitative chemical analysis, Steps in a chemical analysis. Sampling, standardization, calibration.
  • Demonstrate understanding of treatment of analytical data. Errors in chemical analysis. Systematic errors. Random errors. Reliability of results. 
  • Competently undertake Chemical Equilibria in Homogeneous Solutions, Acid-Base    Equilibria, Complexation Equilibria, Oxidation-Reduction Equilibria, Chemical.
  • Equilibria in Heterogeneous Solutions, and Solid-Liquid Equilibria.
