Objectives
Theoretical aspects : The purpose of this course is to provide a guide to understanding the fundamental principles of the analytical techniques of volumetric and instrumental methods.
Experiments : with selected experiments informe the students of the practical aspects of volumetric and instrumental techniques and how measurements are translated to reliable quantitative results. The results are qualified by some concepts of quality control. A security report pays attention to the dangers associated with chemical products.


Topics
Theoretical aspects :
Instrumental methods : atomic spectrometry ,röntgenfluorescence analyses
Experiments : orthophosphate in detergents , Fe in limestone, fluoride determination in phosphate toothpaste and drinking water, heavy metals via flame-AAS , Karl Fisher moisture determination, experiments with the automatic titrator, analyses of a soil sample, analytical determinations with GC and HPLC e.a.
