Inorganic Analysis of Substances Having Pharmaceutical Interest and Qualitative Analysis Laboratory

Two didactic units composes the course: lectures (Inorganic Analysis of Substances having Pharmaceutical Interest) and individual laboratory training (Qualitative Analysis Laboratory).
The main topics of the lectures are the in-depth analysis of the preparatory courses knowledge (General and Inorganic Chemistry, and Stoichiometry and Analytical Chemistry) applied on the qualitative analysis and the learning of laboratory safety rules, basic techniques of the practical experimental chemistry and the analytical procedures to apply during the laboratory experiences, focused on the identification of the inorganic compounds of medicinal and toxicological relevance.
Concerning the experimental practices, the students will improve the technical ability to identify the inorganic substances prescribed by Italian and European Pharmacopoeias.

By the lectures, the students will improve their knowledge concerning the theoretical and practical aspects related to the qualitative analysis, which they will apply during the individual experimental practices.
By the laboratory experiences (mandatory), the students will acquire expertize to perform the qualitative analysis of inorganic compounds.
