Chemistry Exercise Guide for Medical and Dental Students

Chemistry Exercise Guide for Medical and Dental Students.

This manual is an introduction to the practice of qualitative and quantitative analysis. It is intended to serve as a teaching aid for laboratory exercises in analytical chemistry for students of pharmacy and is consistent with the training program and the specifics of this specialty. The manual is an integral part of the Fundamentals of Analytical Chemistry course, which is read to students from the Faculty of Pharmacy.

Laboratory materials, vessels and equipment, as well as the main operations related to conducting organic reactions, isolation, purification and identification of organic compounds, are examined in detail. Some methods for obtaining organic compounds are examined, illustrated with individual specific examples.

In science, knowledge and skill, unfortunately, are not always consistently related. Reasoning on the formula of hemoglobin is knowledge, but preparing a 1N solution of sodium hydroxide is skill.

This guide to practical exercises in chemistry is based on knowledge, but emphasizes skill. The goal is to encourage the ability to solve not only assignments, but also tasks related to independent thinking - that rare fruit of our time.
The desire to make the exposition as vague as possible is felt in all sections, and hopefully more readers share this.

The creators of the guide would like to thank everyone for their relevant recommendations, as well as for all well-intentioned comments. For the malicious ones too.
