Lecture:	1 x 1 Hours Weekly
Laboratory:	1 x 2 Hours Weekly
Syllabus:	Spectrophotometry. Electromagnetic radiation: energy levels and absorption of radiation. Quantitative applications of visible spectrophotometry: complexation reactions and indirect methods. The spectrophotometer: radiation sources, intensity control, wavelength control, sample holders and detectors. Lambert-Beer Law: linearity, deviations, sample calculations and two component systems. Introduction to chromatography: partition and adsorption processes. Column chromatography: solvent polarities (eluotropic series). Paper chromatography: retardation factor (Rf) value and two-dimensional paper chromatography. Thin layer chromatography (TLC): advantages over paper and spot visualisation. Gel permeation. Ion exchange chromatography. Gas chromatography: basic relationships and instrumentation. Sampling procedures. Column efficiency: theoretical plates, resolution, HETP and effect of carrier gas flow rate methods of improving column efficiency. Effect of temperature. The column: packed and capillary columns, liquid phase requirements and selection. Detectors: mode of operation, sensitivity, stability, selectivity and linearity of flame ionisation, thermal conductivity and electron capture detectors. Qualitative and quantitative analysis.
