No prerequisites have been established, although it is very recommended to have passed the first-year Chemistry course.
Gravimetric and Volumetric Analysis is a subject that belongs to module 2 (Fundamentals of Chemistry). This subject and Fundamental of Analytical Chemistry constitute Analytical Chemical Matter which has 12 credits. Both of them are taught in the first semester of the second year.
It is a compulsory subjectof 6 ECTS (4.5 theoretical credits and 1.5 practical credits). Furthermore, the knowledge acquired in this subject is necessary to learn subjects from other areas of knowledge, due to its multidisciplinary character

Evaluation System | Continuous assessment | Non-continuous evaluation * | Description |
Laboratory sessions | 15.00% | 15.00% | The evaluation will take into account the work done during the laboratory practices sessions and the reports presented from each practice It is necessary to obtain a grade of 5 out of 10 to pass the course. If this is not achieved, a specific test will have to be carried out in the ordinary and / or extraordinary exame. The laboratory sessions are of compulsory attendance |
Progress Tests | 80.00% | 0.00% | Two written assessment test that will consist of solving theoretical, theoretical-practical questions and numerical / analytical problems from lessons 1 to 3 and 4 to 6 respectevely. If the grade obtained in this test is higher than 6, you only have to examine from lessons 4 to 6 in the final test. |
Final test | 0.00% | 85.00% | The final test will only be done by students who have not passed the progress tests or who want to improve their grade The final test will consist of solving theoretical, theoretical-practical questions and numerical / analytical problems for the entire subject. In this case the assessment of this exam will be 80% It is necessary to obtain a minimum grade of 5, to be able to compute it with the rest of the activities. |
Assessment of problem solving and/or case studies | 5.00% | 0.00% | The student will be asked to deliver solved exercises, solve different issues related to the subject, solve practical cases |
