Course content
1. - 2. Coherence of pH calculations with theories of electrochemical, electrophoretic and chromatographic methods. Practice and laboratory interpretation of obtained results and measurements. 3. - 4. Calculations of preparation and composition of solutions in the preparation of calibration solutions, standards, dilution of alcohols, acids, bases, buffers, etc. Practice and laboratory interpretation of the obtained results and measurements. 5. - 7. Physical calculations from optics - Lambert-Beer's law in the context of work with molar absorption coefficient, for interpretation of absorption curve, determination of concentration by direct spectrophotometry, calibration curve method, single standard method or standard addition method. Practice and laboratory interpretation of obtained results and measurements. 7. - 8. Practical calculations from non-spectral optical methods - polarimetry, refractometry. Practice and laboratory interpretation of obtained results and measurements. 9. - 11. Problems of electrochemical methods - calculations of redox reactions, electrode potentials, calculations of concentrations from potentiometric and conductometric titrations, calculations of buffer composition and their pH. Practice and laboratory interpretation of obtained results and measurements. 12. Calculations of osmotic pressure and osmotic concentrations (osmolality and osmolarity). 13. - 14. Functional tests of kidneys and liver - determination of glomerular filtration, creatinine clearance, calculation of Ritis quotient, etc. Practice and laboratory interpretation of obtained results and measurements. 15. Granting credits.
