Abstract
The Chemistry undergraduate courses, in general, aim to train professionals for research, teaching and activities in industry. In all these areas, the statistical treatment of data supported by metrology disciplines has been a decisive boost to consolidate conclusions in Analytical Chemistry. The main objective of this work was to stimulate the teaching of the metrology in the chemistry undergraduate courses in Brazil and Portugal. In this work we present some concepts and practical cases of metrology and statistics, which together guarantee the suitability of analytical measurement results for specific purposes. Knowledge of these concepts is essential for the chemist to act effectively and responsibly, avoiding some pitfalls when processing data in Analytical Chemistry. A supplementary material with Excel spreadsheets is available, containing the statistical treatment of some examples and complementing the discussions in this work. A survey is presented among the most important universities in Brazil and Portugal, from which we can see the lack of teaching these subjects in undergraduate chemistry courses. For this reason, this work recommends a syllabus for creating chemical metrology disciplines in undergraduate chemistry courses. To subsidize this syllabus, an extensive, but not exhaustive, bibliography is indicated.
