Laboratory safety rules, MSDS. Acid-base, complexes formation, precipitation and oxidoreductive reactions. Buffer solutions, salts hydrolysis. Measure units. Saturated solutions, common ion effect, salt effect. Laboratory glasses, balances, centrifuges. Weighting, solution preparation, precipitation, centrifugation, filtration. Flame test. Toxicological activity and identification reactions of anions and cations of the Italian Pharmacopoeia.
The purpose of the course is to introduce the laboratory practice, providing information on safety rules, the proper handling of reagents and solvents, and notes on the legislation regulating this issue. It also provides the basic knowledge to perform, with the appropriate glassware and simple instruments, qualitative analyzes of inorganic and organometallic molecules.The knowledge acquired during the practical exercises allow the student to understand the basic principles of chemistry .
Prerequisites
The course Chimica Generale inorganica-Stechiometria is required to access the exam but not for the frequency.
