Learning outcomes
At the end of the laboratory, the student knows methods and program interfaces useful to better understand the concepts learned in Chemistry and Biochemistry courses.
Course contents
Behaviour of different ions in water solution: metal ion, amphoteric ion, transition metal ions.
Reactions of complex ions formation. Redox reactions.
pH indicators and their color as a function of pH.
Strong acid-strong base titration using pH indicator to determine the equivalence point. Weak acid-strong base titration using the pH-meter to determine the equivalence point.
