Key words
Analytical chemistry, spectroscopy, atomic absorption, atomic emission
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.
