- Differentiate between the concepts of qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis
- Define the concept of analyte, the analytical signal and information.
- Understanding the basic laws of chemical analysis.
- Define the equilibrium constants of chemical reactions, the law of mass action and the principle according to Le Chatelier.
- . Implement the principle of chemical equilibrium chemical reactions for identification and separation of analytes from complex matrix.
5. Distinguish the heterogeneous from homogeneous chemical equilibrium systems.
6. Predict the behavior of a chemical reaction due to the change in pH and due to the effect of the foreign ions.
7. Capacity to apply knowledge in practice, especially in problem solving based on information from systems.
