DESCRIPTION

This unit builds on first year chemistry units and consolidates the theoretical and practical framework required by students who intend to major in chemistry or who need additional chemistry to support their studies in other science areas. This unit provides a sound introduction to the principles and practice underlying quantitative analytical chemistry, including some important instrumental techniques. The emphasis is on the analysis of aqueous systems relevant to environmental, industrial and other applications including the application of spectroscopic methods (AA, UV/vis, fluorimetry) and electrochemistry (potentiometry, ion selective electrodes). Particular emphasis is placed on obtaining accurate results and on statistical analysis, specifically relating to data handling and the reporting of results. Examples are taken from the 'real-world' and thus this unit not only meets the needs of chemists but has direct relevance to students with interests in earth sciences, life sciences, environmental studies,medical and biomedical research, antarctic science,biotechnology, marine sciences, aquaculture, Antarctic studies, etc. The laboratory sessions complement lectures, provide practical experience in the analytical methods discussed and emphasise good laboratory practice especially in the area of chemical analysis and safety.

Units are offered in attending mode unless otherwise indicated (that is attendance is required at the campus identified). A unit identified as offered by distance, that is there is no requirement for attendance, is identified with a nominal enrolment campus. A unit offered to both attending students and by distance from the same campus is identified as having both modes of study.

Campus - H Hobart, L Launceston, W Burnie. Study Centre - V Sydney, R Rozelle. Distance units may also have a campus identifier of I Isolated, N Interstate, O Overseas. Units delivered in Transnational Education (TNE) Programs have a campus identifier of A Hangzhou, F Fuzhou, G Shanghai, J Indonesia, K KDU Malaysia, Q Kuwait or Z New Zealand.

Special approval is required for enrolment into TNE Program units - campuses A, F, G, J, K, Q and Z click here for more information.
