The laboratory (70 hours) and the proseminar (20 hours) concern concepts and issues related to modern solutions in inorganic chemistry (i.e. analytical chemistry and research methodology in these fields. The classes present currently used equipment and modern measurement methods.
The proseminar begins at the beginning of the semester and serves to introduce the concepts and issues that the student will encounter during the laboratory, while the laboratory exercises begin with approximately a month's delay in relation to the proseminar.
Classes in the inorganic path include advanced issues regarding methods of synthesis of nanostructured materials and learning about their specific properties and inorganic reactions, including vibrational reactions.
Classes within the analytical path are devoted to the practical use of modern analytical methods discussed during the seminar, using a number of instrumental techniques to examine selected matrices.
Inorganic path
Exercise 1: Quantum dots. Synthesis and optical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals. (M. Karbarz, PhD, MSc, UW professor)
Exercise 2: Electrochemical characterization of catalysts for the oxygen reduction process and an example of the practical use of this reaction in fuel cells. (A. Lewera, PhD, MSc, UW professor)
Exercise 3: Study of the kinetics of ozone decomposition and the photolytic decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solutions. (B. Witkowski, PhD)
Exercise 4: Chemical oscillatory reactions. (O. Święch, PhD)
Exercise 5: Spontaneous organization of alkanethiol molecules on the gold surface. (A. Więckowska, PhD, MSc, UW professor)
Analytical path
Exercise 6 – Fractionation, speciation analysis of soils, photometric determination of matrix elements. (Prof. B. Krasnodębska-Ostręga/M. Sadowska, PhD)
Exercise 7 – Determination of concentrations of selected elements using atomic absorption spectrometry with atomization in a graphite furnace. (dr M. Wojciechowski/O. Dushna).
Exercise 8 – Analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in environmental samples - application in air analysis. (B. Witkowski, PhD)
Exercise 9 - Analysis of the elemental composition of solid samples using the XRF method - application in archeology. (B. Wagner, PhD, MSc, UW professor)
Exercise 10 - Decomposition of a soil/plant/sediment sample supported by microwave energy - comparison of the effectiveness of oxidizing mixtures. (Prof. B. Krasnodębska-Ostręga/M. Sadowska, PhD)

Learning outcomes
Student
K_W01 - knows the general theoretical basis of methods and solutions used in performing tasks related to teaching in the field of analytical and inorganic chemistry.
K_W02 – Knows aspects of the construction and operation of modern measuring equipment supporting scientific research in chemistry.
K_W03 – knows issues in the field of the selected chemical specialization, allowing the use of methods and concepts appropriate to this specialization and allowing for independent research work.
K_U01 – Is able to apply appropriate methods, techniques and research tools within a given chemical specialty, necessary to explain the given problem.
K_U02 – Is able to critically evaluate the results of independently conducted experiments within his chemical specialty, as well as discuss measurement errors.
K_U3 – Is able to discuss the place of chemistry in the system of exact and natural sciences, and its importance for the development of our civilization.
K_K01 – Understands the need and knows the possibilities of continuous education. Is able to independently search for information in the literature (including foreign languages) and use the advice of experts.
K_K04 – Is convinced of the importance of behaving in a professional manner and follows the principles of professional ethics.
K_K05 – Is able to formulate opinions on professional issues and argue in their favour both in the environment of specialists and non-specialists.
Assessment criteria
Pass with grade is based on partial grades obtained for each of the 9 exercises performed. The lab includes 10 exercises, 5 on the inorganic path and 5 on the analytical path. Each student is obliged to complete 5 exercises from his/her declared path and 4 exercises to choose from the other path.
The condition for passing the course is attendance at 10 proseminars and completing 9 declared exercises and obtaining a minimum of 46 points (out of a possible 90).
Each exercise is graded on a scale of 1-10 (8 points for entry/exit and 2 points for report), to pass the entry it is required to obtain 4 points in the written/oral test.
The report must be submitted no later than one week from the date of completion of the exercise.
