Aims

The aim of the first part of laboratory classes on analytical chemistry I, focused on quantitative reactions, is to learn students characteristic reactions of anorganic ions with selected group and selective agents, with visual or basic instrumental detection. The aim of the second part of laboratory classes on analytical chemistry I is introduction of students to problems of qualitative analytical chemistry, mastering of basic analytical methods of gravimetry and volumetry.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Written entrance tests at the beginning of all exercises checking the students readiness for practical work.
Credit test at the course end.
