Objectives

At the end of the course, every student will know fundamentals, features and applications of some instrumental analytical techniques, that is: i) potentiometry and conductimetry, as to electrochemical methods; ii) atomic and molecular absorption and molecular emission spectrophotometry, as to spectrophotometric techniques. Moreover, every student will be able to use main methods in analytical data processing.

Contents
