This course introduces the experimental methods, instruments and data analysis used in analytical chemistry to the students, and assists the students in developing analytical and problem solving skills that are required for the pursuit of their career in the area of pharmaceutical science. Major topics covered include titrimetric analysis, gravimetric analysis, electrochemical analysis, spectroscopic analysis and chromatographic analysis. Students are required to perform literature search and data presentation during the semester.

CILO-1: Practise analytical chemistry laboratory skills and use related tools and equipment. CILO-2: Interpret data generated from the experiments with an understanding of significant figures, precision and accuracy. CILO-3: Interpret results to reach scientific conclusions from experimental data. CILO-4: Formulate written reports and oral presentations for scientific communication in a clear manner, with appropriate calculations, diagrams and graphs. CILO-5: Meaningfully connect laboratory activities to models and concepts learned in Analytical Chemistry.
