Inorganic Chemistry Laboratory IA

chemistry

obligatory courses

Basic knowledge of the properties of the matter and its transformation laws. Basic knowledge of the properties of the main group elements based on the Periodic Table and structures of simple inorganic compounds.

Basic Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry I A, students prepare simple inorganic compounds and investigate their chemical and physical properties

The laboratory experiments illustrate and supplement the problems presented in Inorganic Chemistry I A Lecture. They encompass the following problems of inorganic chemistry: properties of the halogens, oxygene group elements, transition metal elements and their complexes, non-stoichiometric and multicenter inorganic compounds, metal-metal oxides systems, intercalation, Broensted and Lewis acid-basic concept, ions solvation and crystal field theory. During the experimental work the students will synthesize and investigate the properties of inorganic compounds using the following methods: UV-VIS and IR spectroscopy, NMR, pH-metry and potentiometry and several other electrochemical methods.

Student must devote to organized activities over 45 h, to preparation for tests 10 - 15 h, and to write the reports 5-10 h.

Permanent evaluation (current preparation for experiments, activity in the laboratory and preparation exercise report). At the beginning of the laboratory student have to pass a test, later he should carry out the experiments and interpret and discuss the obtained experimental data. Finally he has to give the written reports to the supervisor.
