Annotation
The aim of the subject is to provide the students with firm and sufficiently wide theoretical and methodological fundamentals for pursuing (in a rational way) chemical analysis of inorganic and organic substances, and simple approaches in volumetric analysis based on titrations of different types. The teaching is focused on the explanation of theoretical aspects of instrumental methods.
In practical training individual approach of students to solving analytical problems is required.
