CHE2CAN
2018
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
Students are introduced to some advanced methods of chemical analysis that are commonly used in pharmaceutical and other applications. These include quantitative and qualitative classical and electrochemical methods, as well as some advanced applications of spectroscopy and chromatography. Detailed consideration is given to the limitations, interferences and problems that can be associated with the various analytical techniques. The principles underlying the treatment and preparation of samples are introduced. The focus is on applications to pharmaceutical analysis applications.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes
01. Demonstrate an understanding of the chemical principles that underlie chemical analytical methods by explaining how a particular compound or mixture might be analysed. This might include explanation extraction and other chemical steps or processes that rely on the physio-chemical properties of the analyte material.
- Activities:
- Taught in lectures, tutorials, practice problems from text. Questions in the workshops probes understanding of functional group chemistry and physio- chemical properties.
02. Demonstrate an understanding of the major strengths and weaknesses of various analytical techniques by arguing, in written form, the most appropriate way forward for a particular analysis situation.
- Activities:
- Taught in lectures, tutorials, practice problems from text and online. Students construct logical arguments based on their knowledge of chemistry and the various analytical methods.
03. Predict or determine chemical structure and complex chemical interactions by interpreting the output from a combination of spectroscopic methods.
- Activities:
- Taught in lectures, tutorials, practical workshops, practice problems from text and online. Sstudents use knowledge of spectroscopy to identify major structural features in molecules.
04. Recognise and assess the limitations and possible errors that are associated with various analysis techniques through the interpretation of numerical results. This will include some basic numerical calculations and application of statistical methods.
- Activities:
- Taught in lectures, tutorials, practical workshops, practice problems from text and online.
