Analytical Chemistry
1755-F2-CHAN-J
The lectures are intended to:
- familiarize students with the following topics: stages of the analytical process, development of measurement results, validation of analytical methods, classical analysis methods (gravimetric analysis, titrimetric analysis), spectroscopic methods (UV-Vis spectrophotometry, IR, NMR, flame photometry), electroanalytical methods (potentiometry, polarography, voltammetry, conductometry), chromatographic methods (GC, HPLC, TLC, electrophoresis). The laboratories are designed to:
- familiarize students with classical quantitative analysis, which includes gravimetric analysis, and titration methods - acid-base measurement, complexonometry, redoximetry, and precipitation measurement) and instrumental analysis methods (chromatography - GC, HPLC, TLC; spectrophotometry, spectrofluorimetry, flame photometry, voltammetry, conductometry, potentiometry).
The exercises include solving calculation problems in the field of classical quantitative analysis methods, unit conversion, correct presentation of analysis results, and measurement uncertainty.
The seminars are designed to:
- teach how to use scientific literature in the field of analytical chemistry,
- teach independent problem-solving in the field of analytical chemistry, such as selecting the appropriatechnique, method optimization, instrumental and validation.
