| Unit Outcomes: | On successful completion of this unit students will be able to assess the relevance of various electro-analytical techniques to particular chemical analyses requirements, appreciate the requirements and constraints that apply to quantitation by x-ray fluorescence and select appropriately between infrared and Raman spectroscopies when identifying or characterizing molecular species. They will gain familiarity with a range of atomic absorption techniques to quantitative elemental analyses and be able to select appropriate methods for digital signal filtering and they will learn to appreciate the need for appropriate chemometric (statistical) treatment of data sets. |
