Further information

It is obligatory to attend every laboratory session and "pajatunti".
The students have to study independently
Subjects:
- Redox potential and the electrochemical series
- Electrochemical cell (principle, structure of the cell, applications)
- pH-electrode (principle, structure of the cell, applications)
The pretasks are downloaded to Tabula before every lab.
Everyone participate to the evaluation of the reports.
