Note from June 29, 2020
Although we do not yet know how long the social distancing related to the Covid-19 pandemic will last, and regardless of the changes that had to be made in the evaluation of the June 2020 session in relation to what is provided for in this learning unit description, new learnig unit evaluation methods may still be adopted by the teachers; details of these methods have been - or will be - communicated to the students by the teachers, as soon as possible.

The prerequisite(s) for this Teaching Unit (Unité d’enseignement – UE) for the programmes/courses that offer this Teaching Unit are specified at the end of this sheet.
Main themes
The teacher(s), helped by graduate students and technicians, will discuss the different types of instrumental analysis techniques. The goal is first to give the practical basis to understand the theoretical notions studied during WFARM1312 ; second to explain how to use an analytical instrument in order to obtain relevant results.
Aims

At the end of this learning unit, the student is able to :

1 At the end of the activity the student will be able to
  • Understand the functioning and use measuring electrodes, including pHmeters
  • Use, based on written procedures, the different analytical instruments used in the lab
  • Build and use a calibration curve for different analytical techniques
  • Interpret the data obtained by instrumental analysis
 

The contribution of this Teaching Unit to the development and command of the skills and learning outcomes of the programme(s) can be accessed at the end of this sheet, in the section entitled “Programmes/courses offering this Teaching Unit”.
