1.  Rationale

Separation, Electro analytical and Spectroscopic Techniques are the basis of instrumental analysis widely applied in industry, chemistry, biochemistry, environment and school science. These techniques are based on principles of chemistry taught at school level. Therefore in this module we shall study the principles on which these techniques are based and acquire the basic skills necessary to use the techniques. Studying this area deepens the understanding of the underlying chemistry principles making the learner better able to teach them at school level.

2. Prerequisite or Knowledge

  • Atomic structure and the concept of energy levels
  • RedOx introduction
  • Balancing RedOx equations
  • Standard reduction potentials
  • Nernst equation
  • Concepts of Sampling
  • Errors and statistics
  • Theories of bonding
  • Electrochemistry


3. General objectives

The general objectives of this module are three: to explain the concepts underlying modern analytical techniques, give learners the basic skills to apply the concepts to simulated real world problems and deepen the students understanding of chemistry principles governing these techniques.
