Chemical Analysis provides students with insights into the principles of qualitative and quantitative analysis in analytical chemistry and the implementation of analytical instrumentation across a variety of disciplines. Students will develop knowledge and hands-on skills in analytical science and recognise the importance of sampling, sample preparation, method development, validation, traceability, quality control and quality assurance (QA/QC) including the context of NATA and ISO standards, and data analysis/interpretation within this analytical environment. Students will undertake critiques of existing methods published in scientific literature, and work collaboratively to undertake chemical analysis in mock scenarios.
1. Explain the fundamental principles of instrumentation used for advanced chemical analysis in either a qualitative or quantitative context, identifying their advantages and disadvantages;
2. Conduct collaborative chemical analysis in mock scenarios by selecting appropriate methodology and instrumentation, interpreting chemical data obtained and drawing appropriate conclusions; and
3. Summarise and critique existing methods across a variety of disciplines.
