Summary

The lectures are focused to the principles of calculation and mathematic procedures for the solution of chemical equilibria in the field of gravimetric and titration methods as well as in the field of instrumental methods. Particular attention in this subject is paid on the solution of practical tasks, where the students solve more complicated calculation examples. Significant constituent of the subject is also utilization of MS Excel for more complex calculations, for the construction of logarithmic and semi-logarithmic distribution diagrammes, titration curves etc.
