1.Evaluation of Analytical Data – Statistical Methods Definition
of terms: mean, medium, mode, precision, standard deviation,
Standard deviation, accuracy, absolute error, relative error.
Types error in experimental data – determination (systematic),
indeterminate (random) and gross: sources of errors and their
effects upon the analytical Statistical evaluation of data –
normal distribution, interval estimation, methods of least
squares. 2. Separation methods a. Solvent extraction (liquid-
liquid extraction): general principles, relationship between
percentage of extraction and distribution coefficient and
distribution ratio, multiple extraction, extraction of metal
organic complexes and ion association complexes, Craig tube. b.
Chromatographic techniques: Classification, basic principles,
theory of Ion exchange chromatography - ion exchange process,
synthesis and structure of ion-exchange resin, resolution,
retention parameters, selectivity, ion-exchange capacity and
separation of Paper and thin-layer chromat
