Abstract

This course starts with an instruction to chemical laboratory safety. In this practical part of this course, first experiences are gained in the laboratory. Basic laboratory techniques from pipetting, weighing in and the preparation of solutions to various separation techniques are learned. First analysis methods are also carried out. In addition, selected concepts that are already known from the lecture will be investigated experimentally.
