Abstract

Qualitative analysis (cation and anion detection), acid-base equilibrium (pH, titrations, buffers), precipitation equilibrium (gravimetry, potentiometry, conductivity), redox reactions (synthesis, redox titrations, galvanic elements), metal complexes (synthesis, complexometric titration)

Objective

Qualitative analysis (simple cation and anion separation, detection of cations and anions), acid-base equilibrium (acid and base strength, pH and pKa values, titrations, buffers, Kjeldahl determination), precipitation equilibria (gravimetry, potentiometry, conductivity), oxidation numbers and redox behavior (synthesis), redox titrations, galvanic elements), metal complexes (synthesis of complexes, ligand exchange reactions, complexometric titration).

Content

The practical course in general chemistry is intended to introduce students to scientific work and familiarize them with simple experimental work in the laboratory. The aim is to gain initial experience with the reaction behavior of substances. In addition to a series of quantitative experiments, qualitative experiments provide knowledge about the chemical properties of substances. The individual experiments are selected in such a way that the most varied possible overview of substance classes and phenomena of chemistry is obtained.
