Theoretical session explaining the organization of the course, the basic safety rules in a laboratory chemical and precautions in handling reagents and use of the material volume. It also explains the treatment of laboratory waste for proper environmental management.

Dedication

Sessions theoretical consolidation and review of basic concepts of chemical analysis: * Definition and classification of different chemical analysis techniques. Quality parameters of methods and instruments. Calibration methods. External calibration pattern. Adding standard. * classic analysis techniques. Theoretical basis of volumes and acid-base complexomètriques. Logarithmic diagrams and titration curves. * instrumental analysis techniques. Fundamentals of optical absorption methods: molecular absorption spectrometry UV-Vis; atomic absorption spectrometry. Electrochemical methods: potentiometry. Introduction to Chromatography: Liquid Chromatography.

Dedication

Determination: * Alkalinity by acid-base titration. * pH and conductivity by electrochemical methods. * Hardness determinations by complexometric titration. * Determination of organic compounds (phenols) by molecular absorption spectrometry. Determination: * Metals by atomic absorption spectrometry. Determination: Inorganic anions by liquid chromatography - Determination of sulphates by visible spectrophotometry

Dedication

Each group presents the results obtained, their meaning is discussed among all and the results of the different groups are compared
