The first part of the course aims to provide the student with the theoretical basis for solving complex problems relating to equilibria in aqueous solution (simultaneous acid-base, complexation and precipitation equilibria). The second part of the course primarily addresses the principles and use of some instrumental quantitative analysis techniques, in particular: electroanalytical techniques (potentiometry and voltammetry), chromatographic techniques and UV-vis spectroscopy.
Course Prerequisites
Knowledge of the topics covered in the following courses: Stoichiometry and Lab of Chemistry (mandatory); General and Inorganic Chemistry; Matematics.
Teaching Methods
The course includes lectures. In order to encourage greater inclusion in learning activities, for certain categories of students such as: working students, engaged in caring for their family members, with civil disability, with disability or with specific learning disabilities, parent, athlete, in prison regime; or equivalent situations certified according to the University Guidelines, hours of reception, upon request, to be agreed with the teacher and additional teaching material, including video recordings are guaranteed.
Assessment Methods
Written test (problems of equilibria in aqueous solution). Oral exam about the topics of the course lectures.

Approaches and calculation methods will be illustrated to solve problems regarding acid-base, complexometric, precipitation and biphasic (liquid/solid) equilibria. The principles and use of some instrumental quantitative analysis techniques and in particular the main electroanalytical techniques (potentiometry and voltammetry), chromatographic and UV-vis spectrophotometry will also be addressed primarily.
Course Language
Italian
