Laboratory work
-Spectrophotometric determination of pKa of green bromocresol indicator
-Turbidimetric determination of sulfate content in water
-Determination of sodium and potassium in water by Emission Flame Photometry

Evaluation Methodology
Continuous evaluation
Approval in the practical component (P) depends on the experimental execution of all practical works, delivery of a report of each work.

The practical assessment is valid only in the academic year in which it is performed.

The theoretical component (T) will be evaluated with a written test and a projet with a final value minimum of 9.5v.

Final evaluation
The final assessment consists of a written test on the theoretical subject (T) with a minimum of 9.5v.

The final classification of both the continuous evaluation and the final evaluation will be the weighted average of the two components: CF=0.2P + 0.8T
