Learning outcomes

The course gives the basic information about the Analytical Chemistry, proposing and discussing the first methods (potentiometry, conductometry and voltammetry) for the quantification of analytes.

Course contents

Theoretical basis of quantitative inorganic analysis: the law of mass action; acid-base, precipitation, complexometric and oxido-reduction equilibra.

Volumetric analysis: acid-base, precipitation, complexometric and oxido-reduction titrations.

Potentiometry: potentiometric titrations; direct potentiometry and ion-selective electrodes; glass electrode and pH measurement.

 Conductometry: conductometric titrations.

Voltammetric techniques.
