Annotation
Analytical chemistry is an applied research area aimed at the study of chemical composition of various materials and at the development of new methods of analysis. The main goal of the lecture is to make the students acquainted with the structure and basic tools of this specialization and to provide an overall survey of the principles of selected analytical methods, their significance in practice and possible applications. In course of seminary the basic approaches to the evaluation and statistical processing of analytical results are discussed and practiced. The course of analytical chemistry ends through a written test which is credited.
Learning outcomes: After completing the course, the student will be able to explain the concept of analytical chemistry, explain the concept of qualitative and quantitative analysis, clarify the analytical process, explain all basic analytical operations, clarify the procedures of inorganic and organic qualitative analysis, perform gravimetry, perform volumetry, perform precipitation titrations, perform complexometric titrations and perform acid-base titrations.
