Course curriculum
Basic laboratory equipment (lab equipment, glass, porcelain).
Working with glass. Working with scales. Volume measuring of liquids and gases. Approximate measuring volumes of liquids. Working with dispenser and automatic pipette. Principles of work with a standard glass (graduated cylinders, volumetric flasks, pipettes, burettes). Working with automatic burette.
Heating and cooling. Direct heating, gas and alcohol burners. Electric heat source. Indirect heating (liquid, steam, air and other bath). Annealing. Cooling (coolant, cooling media).
Separation of components of heterogeneous mixtures (decantation, filtration). The methods of filtration. Separation of the components of homogenous mixtures (crystallization, distillation). Types of crystallization. Distillation (simple distillation, fractional distillation, rectification, steam distillation, distillation under reduced pressure).
Further separation and purification techniques (drying, extraction, sublimation and recrystallization). Measurement of physical quantities (melting point, refractive index, density, pH).
