CHEMICAL ANALYSIS
CHE2CAN
2015
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. Assessed in exam, and workshop reports. Most of the questions on the exam and in the workshops probes understanding of functional group chemistry and physio-chemical properties and asks to either assess an analytical method for suitability, or suggest a suitable analysis strategy.
