Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry

Introduction to nature and scope of analytical chemistry. Principles and practice of precision measurement in chemistry. Collection

and statistical treatment of data. Types of errors; precision and accuracy. Distribution of errors: mean, standard deviation, variance,

student t-test and confidence limits. Gravimetric analysis; precipitation; titrimetric analysis; acid-base and oxidation-reduction and

complexometric analysis. Separation techniques: such as liquid-liquid extraction, fractional distillation, crystallization, and

chromatography including TLC, paper, column, ion-exchange, gas- liquid and high pressure liquid methods.
