Abstract

Introduction to the practical work in a chemistry laboratory. The most important manipulations and techniques are treated, as well as the the most fundamental chemical reaction types.

Objective

- Knowledge of the basic chemical laboratory methods. - Basic knowledge of the scientific approach in experimenting. - Observation and interpretation of real-world chemical processes. - Writing of a reliable laboratory journal.

Content

- Simple chemical methods and calculations. - Separation techniques. - Simple physical measurements. - Photochemistry. - Ionic solids (salts). - Acid/Base chemistry, buffers. - Redox reactions. - Metal complexes. - Titration methods.

Resources

Lecture Notes

Course manual (is handed out to the students at the begin of the lessons).Language: German, English upon request.

Literature

There exists, unfortunately, hardly any supporting textbook in English, since basic chemistry is taught rather differently at Anglo-Saxon universities.
