EL3304 Instrumental Methods of Analysis Syllabus – Anna University Regulation 2021

OBJECTIVES:

• To impart knowledge on the principle and importance of various analytical instruments used for the characterization of various materials

UNIT I INTRODUCTION TO SPECTROSCOPICAL METHODS OF ANALYSIS

Electromagnetic radiation: various ranges, dual properties, various energy levels, interaction of photons with matter, absorbance & transmittance and their relationship, permitted energy levels for the electrons of an atom and simple molecules, various electronic transitions in organic and inorganic compounds effected by UV, and visible radiations, various energy level diagrams of saturated, unsaturated and carbonyl compounds, excitation by UV and visible radiations, choice of solvents, cut off wavelengths for solvents

UNIT II QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS BY UV AND VISIBLE SPECTROCOPY

Lamda max and epsilon max rules, Woodward -Fieser rules for the calculation of absorption maxima (Lamda max) for dienes and carbonyl compounds, Effects of auxochromes and effects of conjugation on the absorption maxima, Different shifts of absorption peaks(Bathochromic, hypsochromic, hypochromic), Instrumentation for UV and Visible spectrophotometers (source, optical parts and detectors), Applications of UV and Visible spectroscopy.

UNIT III QUANTITATIVEANALYSIS BY UV AND VISIBLE SPECTROCOPY

Beer-Lambert’s law, limitations, deviations (real, chemical, instrumental), estimation of inorganic ions such as Fe, Ni and estimation of nitrite using Beer -Lambert’s law, multicomponent analysis (no overlap, single way overlap and two way overlap), photometric titration(experimental set -up and various types of titrations and their corresponding curves).

UNIT IV IR SPECTROSCOPY

Theory of IR spectroscopy, various stretching and vibration modes for diatomic and triatomic molecules (both linear and nonlinear), various ranges of IR (near, mid, finger print and far) and their usefulness, Instrumentation (only the sources and detectors used in different regions), sample preparation techniques, qualitative analysis of alkanes, alkenes and carbonyl compounds.

UNIT V CHROMATOGRAPHIC METHODS
