Course Overview

Quantitative Methods in Chemistry online course is an elective undergraduate-level programme offered by Swayam. The course will introduce you to the field of analytical chemistry in eight weeks. The curriculum also dives into various research problems and discusses real-world topics and issues related to the subject.

Furthermore, the Quantitative Methods in Chemistry certification will train you in scientific reporting and testing experimental data using statistical analysis. The course has been designed and delivered by IISER Bhopal and is intended for students pursuing BSc and BS-MS courses in Chemistry.

Through the Quantitative Methods in Chemistry program, you will learn about concepts like chemical stoichiometry, hypothesis validation, sampling, data analysis, and chromatography, along with many other exciting topics. Apart from the video lectures and modules, you will have to submit regular assignments that will later be counted in the final score.

The Quantitative Methods in Chemistry online training concludes with a proctored exam which is optional and meant for those who wish to add the course completion certificate to their CV.

The Syllabus

Chemical stoichiometry
parameters to define concentration of chemicals (normality, molarity, molality, mole-fractions, parts-per million)
analytical concentration and equilibrium concentrations
p-value of concentration

Measurements and its statistical analyses (definition of mean, median, mode,variance, standard deviation, standard error, accuracy, precision)
need for performing replicates/repeats, reproducibility.
Classification and sources of errors
error propagation
scientific reporting data (significant figures)
error curves

Hypothesis validation (null hypothesis, confidence levels, confidence intervals,one-tail test, two-tail test, use of statistical tables such as z-table, t-table, F-table, identifying outliers in data with Q-test)

Sampling
fitting and analysis of data (linear regression, single factor analysis of variance, least-significant difference)

Software-based data analysis (linear and non-linear regression)

Examples of data fitting and analysis (application to rate kinetics, gradient mixing,biomolecular folding)

Analytical separations (solvent extraction, chemical precipitation, various types of chromatography – size exclusion, ion exchange, affinity, gas, high pressure liquid chromatography, field-flow fractionation)
Detectors in chromatography

Theoretical basis of chromatography (concept of plates, theoretical plate height,plate count, resolution, retention time, retention factor, selectivity factor)
Differences between rate theory and plate theory

Evaluation process

The certification or proctored exam for the Quantitative Methods in Chemistry programme will be conducted on a day fixed by Swayam through in-person mode. You will have to attend the exam at an exam centre, and more details about the exam centres will be revealed soon after the form is published.
