Objectives

It is intended that this course gives the student the ability to understand and describe the various processes of separation usually used in chemical analysis, identifying their common aspects and showing their particular characteristics that allow them to perform certain specific separations. Assimilation and integration of concepts and features to provide a comprehensive view of the processes of separation based on the heterogeneous equilibrium, in particular, precipitation, solvent extraction, ion exchange and chromatography. The second aim is to provide the concepts of potentiometry.

Teaching methods and learning activities

The teaching of analytical chemistry takes place through lectures and theoretical-practical classes. Lectures are exhibition spaces for exposure of the themes of the program, using the visual aids available. The practical classes are spaces dedicated to problem solving, application of concepts learned and treated in the lectures, to clarify doubts and for critical analysis of the final result.

Eligibility for exams

Student attendance to the tutorial classes is mandatory. Those students whose attendance is lower than 3/4 of the classes planned are considered without attendance.

Calculation formula of final grade

1. Assessment Method The assessment of knowledge will be made through a mandatory final exam.
2. Final Exam Waiver: The student may waive the final exam by performing two tests (T1, T2) during the semester, provided that the arithmetic mean of the tests is positive. Performing these tests is optional.
3. Students who have chosen to take the tests provided for in point 2 and whose average of the tests is positive may only improve their grade in the exam of the recourse period.
4. Final exam (EX): In cases where the average of the tests is below 9.5, students can choose, only in the normal season, to repeat the test in which they obtained the lowest grade or, if they want to be evaluated as a whole. , take the final exam (replacing the two tests).
5. For students who chose to perform the test assessment, the final grade is obtained by the arithmetic average of the test scores (considering the best grade of the tests that have been repeated).
6. For students who chose to perform the final exam, the final grade is obtained by the exam grade.
7. In the recourse and the special period exams, students will be assessed on the whole subject. The final grade will be obtained from the grade obtained by the student in the exam.

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)

The assessment for students with special status will be done by the final exam. They may, however, choose to follow the same assessment procedure described for regular students.

Classification improvement

Improvement of the final grade can be made through an exam.

Observations

The attendance in theoretical-practical classes is mandatory.
