KD1120 Analytical Chemistry 6.0 credits

Lectures: sampling. Spectroscopy, Chromatography, Potentiometry and Calibration

Laboratory work: Chromatography, Potentiometry, Spectrophotometry and a minor laboration project.

After completing part 1 of the course the student should be able to:

• describe and perform some basic chemical analysis methods

• choose and apply appropriate calibration models

• decide which method is appropriate for a given analytical problem and which disturbances can be expected

• evaluate the usefulness and limitations of different measurement techniques

After completing part 2 and 3 of the course the student should be able to:

• describe the most common analysis techniques used in laboratories and in process control; spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and chromatography,

• define alternative methods within each technique, explain the principles for these and mention advantages and disadvantages

• describe the function of the individual instrumental parts for the different techniques/methods

• choose a technique, method and instrumentation suitable for a specific analysis problem and motivate the choice

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.

• PROA - Laboratory Project, 3.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Examination, 1.5 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F
• LABA - Laboratory Work, 1.5 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.

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

Examination (TEN1) gives the final grade for the course

Project (PROA) - Laboratoryprojectconsisting ofa writtenreport and oralpresentation;

Labatory Work (LABA; 1,5 credits)
