Hours of instruction:

Weekly: two hours of lectures + one hour of exercises + six hours of labwork (2+1+6)

Goals:

Helping students acquire basic knowledge of quantitative chemical analysis (gravimetry and volumetry); introducing students to the procedures of taking representative samples; selecting and applying the most appropriate methods; assessing approaches in the course of solving problems during the analysis of complex i.e. real samples; developing skills, accuracy and precision necessary for working in a laboratory.

Outcome:

The student is qualified to choose the appropriate method for quantitative analysis of the sample and to perform the determination with the required accuracy and precision.

Teaching methods:

Lectures, laboratory work (group and individual) and theory exercises.

Extracurricular activities:

The student goes over the results obtained during group activities and records the results in his workbook, does calculation problems and other kinds of problems and elaborates the principles of the analysis.

  Course activities and grading method

Lectures:

0 points (2 hours a week)

Syllabus:

  • Introduction to classical quantitative methods.
  • Classical quantitative methods.
  • Basics of calculations in classical quantitative methods.
  • Introduction to volummetry, acid-base titrations and their application.
  • Precipitation mechanisms, application of precipitation in analysis.
  • Precipitation methods (volumetric) and their application.
  • Basics of gravimetric analysis, and examples.
  • Complexometric methods and their application.
  • Redox methods and their application.
  • Sampling, sample preparation, real samples analyses.
  • Validation of results.

Exercises:

10 points (1 hour a week)

Syllabus:

Within the framework of the theoretical exercises, students practice computational tasks and solve problems related to specific areas of classical analytical chemistry (gravimetric and volumetric analyses).

During the semester, students take two midterm tests (2x5 points). Each midterm consists of three problems from the corresponding area. Students who achieve more than 51% of the points on each midterm are exempt from the written part of the final exam in the January and February examination periods.

Labwork:

20 points (6 hours a week)

Syllabus:

Acid-base methods: group and individual analysis.

Precipitation methods: group and individual analysis.

Gravimetric analysis: individual analysis.

Complexometric methods: group and individual analysis.

Redox methods: group and individual analysis.

Experimental part (maximal points - 20), analysis accepted at first attempt gives 2 points, gravimetric analysis at first attempt 4 points, 2 if not accepted. For every repeated analysis 1 point is reduced.

 

Colloquia:

20 points

Remarks:

Entrance tests (maximum score: 20): the tests are taken during the scheduled laboratory exercise sessions, sequentially by topic, and there are five in total. The prerequisite for taking a test is the completion and verification of the corresponding group laboratory exercises (except for gravimetry). Each test begins with a written problem (titration curves), followed by an oral examination. The midterm test is graded with a maximum of 4 points.

Written exam:

20 points

Oral exam:

30 points
