Aim of the course

The aim of the course is to familiarize the student with the issues of instrumental methods in chemical analytics and selected analytical methods using the content provided in the course of physical chemistry.

Prerequisites

Courses: General and Inorganic Chemistry and Physical Chemistry.

Scope

Lecture: Chemicals, Apparatus, and Unit Operations of Analytical Chemistry. Errors in chemical analysis. Instruments for Optical Spectroscopy. UV-Vis spectrophotometry. IR spectrophotometry. Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Spectrofluorimetry. ICP. Mass spectrometry. Gas Chromatography. High Performance Liquid Chromatography. Potentiometry.

Laboratory: Construction and operation of the spectrophotometer. Spectrophotometric determination of compound concentration. Equilibrium in acid-base solutions. Potentiometric determination of titration curves. Determination of buffer capacity by potentiometric method. Principle of operation of pH meter.

Teaching methods

- lecture (multimedia presentation)

- practical (laboratory exercises using the basic equipment of the chemical laboratory).

Assignment conditions

Lecture: The student is allowed to take the final written test after having completed and earned credits for practical courses. A 60 minute written test consists of 3 issues. To qualify for the grade it is necessary to obtain min. 50% of possible points.

Laboratory: determine the final grade on the basis of one written test score (obtaining at least 50% of the possible scores from each written test) and assessment at the end of the semester from reports describing laboratory experiments. The final grade from the laboratory is the arithmetic mean of the score obtained from the written test and the assessment from the reports. 

The final grade of the course is the arithmetic mean of the laboratory and lecture notes.
