Course content
Analytical chemistry in context with other natural sciences. Classification of qualitative and quantitative methods of chemical analysis. The common steps in quantitative analysis - the choice of method, sampling, representative sample, preparation of laboratory sample, decomposition and dissolving of sample, elimination of interferences, calibration and measurement of sample (analytical signal). The interpretation of analytical signal. Analytical reactions. Qualitative inorganic analysis (the Okáč´s system) and organic analysis (CHONX, functional group). Gravimetry and volumetry. Basic principle and application of electrochemical methods (potentiometry, polarography, conductometry) spectroscopic methods (RGT, AAS, UV-VIS, IR, NMR, MS - structural analysis) and sepration methods (GC, HPLC, CE). Biochemical analytical methods (immunoanalysis of low-molecular compounds). Analysis of real samples. Preconcentration and pre-separation techniques. Demostration of develompment of analytical method. The examples of some analysis in forensic, hygiene, metallurgic and research laboratory.
