This unit is only available to students on Chemistry programmes.
Aims & Learning Objectives:
To introduce students to the basic techniques of synthetic and analytical inorganic chemistry. To foster a good scientific style in the presentation of data and to develop students' ability to manipulate and interpret scientific data.
After studying this Unit students should be able to:
* Make careful observations of chemical reactions and explain them in terms of chemical equations.
* Perform straightforward synthetic and purification procedures
* Use volumetric glassware and balances in the correct manner.
* Manipulate and present scientific data in a clear and logical way, including the use of significant figures.
Content:
Qualitative analysis; quantitative analysis by titration, flame photometry, gravimetry and spectophotometry; preparation of selected inorganic compounds and their reaction chemistry; ion-exchange chromatography.
