Vanleeuw Evelien (coordinator) | Thijs Marc | Vanleeuw Evelien Aims
The student defines technical terminology and gives examples.
The student determines the empirical en de molecular formula of a compound.
The student makes calculations about concentrations with different quantities in the assignment.
The student makes calculations about stoichiometry for reactions in solution or in the gas phase, with a given reaction.
The student makes conversions from one state of a gas to another with the aids of the ideal gaslaw.
The student makes calculations about colligative properties of solutions: reduction of the vapor pressure of the solvent, increasing of the boiling point of the solvent, reduction of the freezing point of the solvent, osmotic pressure of the solution.
The student predicts for binary mixtures (also for mixtures which deviate from Raoult’s law) which substance will be distillated in a fractionated distillation and which substance will remain in the boiling flask.
The student predicts whether a reaction will develop spontaneously or not on the basis of changes in enthalpy and entropy.

Evaluation
Introduction to analytical chemistry (B-TM-Z81183)
Explanation
| Assessment | Grading scale |
|---|---|
| TOTAL | 1-20/20 scale |
The exam consists of a wide variation of questions: formulating definitions, judging a statement, explaining a statement and several exercises. About 70 to 80 % of the points will go to exercises.
There are two moments for examination: April (30%) and June (70%).
Information about retaking exams
This course unit does not allow partial mark transfers.
The points of the April exam will not count in the total score.
