Principles of Quantitative Pharmaceutical Analysis and Laboratory for Quantitative Analysis
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
Two didactic units composes the course: lectures (Principles of Quantitative Pharmaceutical Analysis) and individual laboratory training (Laboratory for Quantitative Analysis).
The objectives of the lectures consist in providing the knowledge needed to apply the analytical methods, already partially learned in the preparatory courses (General and Inorganic Chemistry, and Stoichiometry, Analytical Chemistry and Inorganic Analysis of Substances having Pharmaceutical Interest and Qualitative Analysis Laboratory), described in the current European Pharmacopoeia for the quantitative analysis of substances for pharmaceutical use.
Concerning the experimental practices, the students will acquire the skills needed for the dosage of pharmaceutical substances reported in the Italian and European Pharmacopoeias.

Expected learning outcomes
By the lectures, the students will have improved further their knowledge concerning the theoretical and practical aspects related to the quantitative analysis, which they will have applied during the individual experimental practices.
The laboratory experiences (mandatory) will have provided to the students the skills to perform the quantitative analysis of pharmaceutical compounds, to complete their knowledge (by means also of other courses as Assays and Methods of Analysis of the Pharmacopoeias and Laboratory of Drug Identification).

Assessment methods and Criteria
The examination consists of a written test (120 minutes duration) based on problems related to the stechiometry and the chemical equilibrium of the various titration reactions, by critical evaluation of the analytical data, and questions concerning the theory of quantitative analysis and the application of the various analytical methods. The overall assessment is scored in thirtieth and it corresponds to the sum of the scores obtained in the written test (maximum score 24/30) and in the laboratory exercises (maximun score 6/30). The final score of the examination is communicated during the return and correction of the test. In the course of the lectures, ongoing exercises are proposed in preparation for the examination.

Assessment methods and Criteria
The verification of the learning is carried out by a written test (90 minutes).
The examination consists of a written test based on the resolution of problems related to the stechiometry and the chemical equilibrium of the various titration's reactions and open-ended questions concerning the theory of quantitative analysis covered during the course. The marks obtained is scored in thirtieth and results from the sum of the scores obtained in the written test (maximum score 24/30) and in the laboratory exercises (maximun score 6/30). During the course ongoing exercises are proposed in preparation for the exam.
