Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Physico-chemical analysis methods
To present with some details, the most current methods of analysis, based on physical processes. The aspect mainly developed is the quantitative aspect with an introduction to Quality assurance. This course however does not approach NMR, matters which belong to other courses
Electrochemical analysis methods
To present in detail the most common analytical methods in electrochemistry, based on physical-chemical and thermodynamic processes. The main focus is on the quantitative aspect of the methods with an introduction to Quality Assurance.

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Physico-chemical analysis methods
Face-to-face course
Additional information:
Theoretical courses (15h): 1st quadrimester. Face to face. Copies of lecture slides are available. Short movies of analytical methods have been recorded and are available on the plateform e-campus. A selection of analytical methods (GC-MS, ATR-FT-IR, Raman) are directly showed in live during the course to illustrate the theoritical concepts.
The rehearsals concerns certain parts of the theoretical course, illustrated by exercises. The subject covered during the rehearsals is mainly electrochemistry. Quantitative approaches by internal standard and isotope dilution are also discussed.

The electrochemistry rehearsals (block 3 chemistry) include some parts of the theoretical course, illustrated by exercises. The main subject covered in the rehearsals is electrochemistry, which is well suited to the exercises. The approaches to dosing by calibration, titration and the method of standard additions are covered.
Course materials and recommended or required readings
Physico-chemical analysis methods
- Full notes were written and are available for the spectral methods of analysis. They present the basic concepts which will be exposed.
- Moreover, the course is presented via a powerpoint provided to the students.
- The students can obtain additional information, in particular in the excellent work: ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY by SKOOG, WEST and HOLLER, DeBoeck University, 3rd edition (2015)

Physico-chemical analysis methods
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions ) AND oral exam
Written work / report
Additional information:
The assessment includes:
For Bloc 3 Chemistry :
An examination on the practical work (written examination, out of session, in December) and an oral presentation of the manipulation based on a scientific article (in groups of two, out of session in December)
The January face-to-face examination is divided into two parts,
Part 1 (written, duration 3h00) corresponds to a written exam with exercises and theoretical questions on electrochemistry-related material;
Part 2 (oral) corresponds to an oral examination on the mass spectrometry AND spectroscopy (UV, VIS, IR)
The repartition of points on the final score is as follows:
- For the January examination: 70%, of which 30% for the written examination on electrochemistry and 40% for the oral examination on physicochemical methods of analysis.
- For the practical work (Block 3 chemistry): 30% including the practical work examination and the oral presentation of the manipulation.
In the case of final failure (overall mark below 10/20), from one year to the next, students who have passed the practical work with a minimum of 10/20 are exempt from the course.

Work placement(s)
Physico-chemical analysis methods
Laboratory work (65h).
During these TDs students will have the opportunity to use electrochemical methods:
- The classical polarography of Pb in a Zn oxide solution
- The DPP of Cd in a Zn oxide solution;
- Amperometry of Pb from a synthetic solution;
- Anodic stripping of Pb from a white wine sample;
- Potentiometry du Ca from a synthetic solution;
This activity is part of the teaching module and is mandatory. The student who does not participate at the entire activity and/or provided their reports outside the deadlines fixed will not be admitted at the exam.<br /><br /> ///<br /><br /> see TP part
