KD1190 Chemical Measuring Techniques 9.0 credits

• Fundamental statistics, confidence interval, statistical tests, linear regression and experimental design.
• Spectroscopic, chromatographic and electrochemical techniques for chemical analysis.
• Calibration, validation and uncertainty.

When you have passed the course you will be able to:

• Plan and evaluate experiments with statistical methods.

• Describe and perform some fundamental chemical analysis methods.

• Choose and apply suitable calibrating models, and use statistical tests to handle the measuring data from varying chemical analyses.

• You will also be able to evaluate uncertainty and estimate which parameters contribute to the analytical method’s uncertainty.

• You will also, by getting a fundamental knowledge of the most important analytical techniques that are used today, be able to assess which method is suitable for a given analytical problem and which disturbances that can be expected.

• You will evaluate the usefulness and limitations of different measurement techniques.

Completed upper secondary education including documented proficiency in English corresponding to English A. For students who received/will receive their final school grades after 31 December 2009, there is an additional entry requirement for mathematics as follows: documented proficiency in mathematics corresponding to Mathematics A.

And the specific requirements of mathematics, physics and chemistry corresponding to Mathematics E, Physics B and Chemistry A.

Two years of study at the School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, KTH, or corresponding knowledge.

Miller & Miller "Statistics and Chemometrics for Analytical Chemistry"  (Pearson Education, 6th edition)

Handouts.

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• LAB1 - Laboratory work, 2.5 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 4.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• ÖVN1 - Computer Laboratory Work, 2.0 credits, grading scale: P, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

The final grade is based on the grade on the examination and is given when all procedures are approved.
