Fundamentals of analytical chemistry 0600-S1-O-PCA

Lecture: Process of quantitative chemical analysis. Errors and statistical calculations of analytical results. Basic chemical laws are used in quantitative analysis. Introduction to gravimetric determinations. Fundamentals of quantitative analysis in solution. Titrimetric analysis: acid-base, precipitations, redox, complexometric - EDTA. Titration analyses in applications. Theory of indicators: acid – base, redox, complexometric and precipitations (Mohr, Volhard, Fajans).

Calculus/ Tutorial:
Analytical calculations in analysis: alkacimetric, redoxometric, precipitation, gravimetric. Statistical calculations of analysis results.

Laboratory
Performance of chemical analyses involving gravimetric and titrimetric methods. Gravimetric analysis – determination of barium as barium sulfate. Acid–base titration – determination of a strong acid, a strong base, a weak acid (acetic acid), and sodium carbonate. Precipitation titration – determination of chloride ions by the Mohr method and thiocyanate ions by the Volhard method. Complexometric titration – determination of calcium ions, magnesium ions, and calcium and magnesium in mixtures. Redox titration – determination of oxalate ions, iron ions, calcium, copper, and potassium dichromate(VI). Preparation of the standard solutions of HCl, NaOH, AgNO₃, KMnO₄, Na₂S₂O₃, and EDTA solutions. Independent performance of chemical analyses and processing of the obtained results.

Teaching methods

Teaching methods giving: - informative (conventional) lecture with the use of multimedia presentations. Teaching methods looking for: - laboratory: laboratories are related to the content processed during the lecture. The student performs the tasks independently after preparation, based on the available instructions and the recommended literature. The performed analyses are checked directly at the laboratory on the basis of a report containing a brief recipe, reaction equation, calculation scheme and the obtained result. - calculation exercises: practice - exercises are related to the content discussed during the lecture.
