The lab exercises will cover qualitative and quantitative Analytical Chemistry.
They aim to provide a basic understanding of laboratory chemistry and wood chemistry at a basic level. The chapter pH value offers an integrated treatment - without excessive details - of acids, basic compounds, pH measurement and buffers covering the process of solvolysis and complexation. The chapter cation and anion analysis emphasizes basic steps in qualitative and quantitative investigations of more or less complex mixtures (e.g., water hardeners). Finally, wood components as lignin derivatives and various extractives are investigated using modern chromatography methods and enzyme-based analysis.

This exercise develops ideas and basic knowledge of basic steps in Analytical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry and gives a brief survey of chemical reactions and interactions with other analytical disciplines. It covers skills in the assessment of chemically related problems formed in the analysis of naturally occurring compounds.
