Syllabus

1. Qualitative analysis of inorganic cations and anions using wet chemistry: identification of two cations, identification of two anions

2. Qualitative analysis of inorganic solid substance using wet chemistry: identification of cation and anion in a well-soluble and a bad-soluble solid sample

3. Acid-base titrations: identification of analyte (sodium or potassium hydroxide or hydrochloric, sulfuric or nitric acid) in the sample, preparation of a standard solution of hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide, acidimetry or alkalimetry of analyte in the sample

4. Precipitation titrations: argentometry of sodium chloride in a liquid sample with Fajans' indication, titration of potassium iodide and chloride in a solid sample using potentiometric indication, titration curve construction, and evaluation

5. Chelatometry: identification of analytes in the sample, determination of magnesium and calcium ions in water as a sample, titration of magnesium and zinc ions or lead and bismuth ions in the mixture

6. Iodometry: titration of ascorbic acid in Celaskon pellet, iodometry of acetone in a liquid sample based on indirect titration

7. Permanganometry: preparation of a standard solution of potassium permanganate using oxalic acid as the standard, titration of iron in a solid sample using potentiometric indication, titration curve construction, and evaluation

8. Coulometry: determination of hydroquinone in a liquid sample with coulometric titration, calculation of analyte concentration from the electrical charge

9. Potentiometry with ion-selective electrode: determination of nitrate or fluoride ions using ion-selective electrode, calibration curve construction

10. Gas chromatography: separation of oxygen and nitrogen from air sample, evaluation of chromatogram, and calculation of fundamental chromatographic quantities

11. Spectrophotometry: spectrophotometric determination of acetylsalicylic acid in Acylpyrin pellet, calibration curve construction

12. Solid phase extraction: preconcentration of iron ions from spring water using solid phase extraction, spectrophotometric determination of a preconcentrated analyte, calibration curve construction

Annotation

The course of laboratory practice in analytical chemistry trains experimental skills in classical and instrumental analytical techniques. The course ends through a written test in calculations and a practical exam in analysis of unknown sample. The course is taught in English for Erasmus students.

During epidemiological measures: This subject is taught only in the face-to-face form if it is possible.
