Praktikum opće i anorganske kemije

The book Praktikum opće i anorganske kemije (Laboratory Manual of General and Inorganic Chemistry), authored by Biserka Bach-Dragutinović and Bruno Mayer, is a long-standing and indispensable university manual for practical chemistry instruction. The work is designed as a reliable guide for laboratory practice, with a particular emphasis on the acquisition of practical skills, measurement precision, and strict adherence to laboratory safety protocols. The manual systematically introduces students to laboratory equipment, the handling of chemicals, the preparation of solutions of specific concentrations, as well as weighing and volumetric measurement techniques. Each chapter provides clear instructions for conducting experiments—ranging from chromatography, acid-base titrations, and redox reactions to the preparation and purification of inorganic compounds and the qualitative analysis of ions. Due to its systematic approach, precise descriptions of reactions, and focus on safe laboratory practice, this book has served as an essential tool for generations of students in mastering the experimental aspects of chemical science.
