Paper Description

Edit Paper Description Content

This paper covers aspects of analytical chemistry including statistical analysis, characterisation using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and qualitative and quantitative analysis of mixtures using gas chromatography (GC) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).

Edit Paper Description Content

Paper Structure

Edit Paper Structure Content

This paper consists of lectures on four commonly used analytical techniques and a laboratory course which gives students a chance to understand practical aspects of the techniques covered.

Important note for international students: For international students in New Zealand under student visas, regular attendance is part of your visa obligation and is checked as a requirement on the University under the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students, to which the University is a signatory. Academic staff are formally required to monitor attendance in classes and submission of compulsory assessment events/items and to report to Waikato International in the event that any problem with irregular attendance or non-submission is not resolved.

Analytical chemistry

  • For analytical chemistry we recommend: Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry, by Skoog, West, Holler and Crouch (9th Edition, Brooks/Cole, Cengage Learning) which is the text for all levels 1, 2 and 3 of analytical chemistry. If you are not intending to study chemistry for 3 years it is possible to purchase an e-edition which will remain current for two years or to purchase individual chapters. These can be found at:

https://www.cengagebrain.co.nz/shop/isbn/9780495558286

Copies of the book are available in the Library at QD75.2 .S55 2004

  • For assistance with spectral interpretation we recommend Silverstein, Webster, Kiemle & Bryce: Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds; 8th edition. Wiley. There are a number of earlier editions of this book in the library all with Silverstein as the lead author but with various other authors; note that the more recent editions will refer to more modern techniques.

Other suggested readings:

Practical Skills in Chemistry, second Edition, J. R. Dean et al, Prentice Hall, 2001 is a very useful resource; several copies are available in the Library. This book contains material on general skills (study and examination skills, IT and library resources, communicating information and presenting data), together with information directly relevant to the paper (writing essays, reporting practical work, writing literature reviews. It also contains information on essential practical skills in chemistry (recrystallisation, reflux, evaporation, infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy). QD33.2 .P73 2011
