Analytical Chemistry
Analytical chemistry is the study of the separation, identification, and quantification of the chemical components of natural and artificial materials. Qualitative analysis gives an indication of the identity of the chemical species in the sample, while quantitative analysis determines the amount of one or more of these components. Analytical methods can be classified as classical and instrumental ones. Classical methods use separations such as precipitation, extraction, and distillation and qualitative analysis by color, odor, or melting point. Quantitative analysis is achieved by measurement of weight or volume. Instrumental methods use an apparatus to measure physical quantities of the analyte such as light absorption, fluorescence, or conductivity.
Classical Methods
Qualitative analysis determines the presence or absence of a particular
compound, but not its mass or concentration. Chemical test is designed to prove the existence of a chemical compound or chemical group with the aid of a specific reagent. Flame test is a procedure used in chemistry to detect the presence of certain metal ions, based on each element's characteristic emission spectrum. Gravimetric analysis involves determining the amount of material present by weighing the sample before and/or after some transformation. Titration involves the addition of a reactant to a solution being analyzed until some equivalence point is reached.
Instrumental Methods
Spectroscopy measures the interaction of the molecules with
electromagnetic radiation. Mass spectrometry measures mass-to-charge ratio of molecules using electric and magnetic fields. Electroanalytical methods measure the potential (volts) and/or current (amps) in an electrochemical cell containing the analyte. Calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis measure the interaction of a material and heat. Separation processes (chromatography, electrophoresis) are used to decrease the complexity of material mixtures. Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects that cannot be seen with the unaided eye.

An optical spectrometer is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials. The variable measured is most often the light intensity but could also, for instance, be the polarization state. The independent variable is usually the wavelength of the light or a unit directly proportional to the photon energy, such as wave number or electron volts, which has a reciprocal relationship to wavelength. A spectrometer is used in spectroscopy for producing spectral lines and measuring their wavelengths and intensities. Spectrometer is a term that is applied to instruments that operate over a very wide range of wavelengths, from gamma rays and X-rays into the far infrared rays. The majority of spectrophotomers are used in spectral regions near the visible spectrum.

7. Read and translate the text into the English language using the diagrams of atomic force microscope
Атомно-силовой микроскоп (АСМ) – это сканирующий зондовый микроскоп высокого разрешения. Принцип работы АСМ основан на регистрации силового взаимодействия между поверхностью исследуемого образца и зондом. В качестве зонда используется наноразмерное остриё, располагающееся на конце упругой консоли, называемой кантилевером. Сила, действующая на зонд со стороны поверхности, приводит к изгибу консоли. Появление возвышенностей или впадин под остриём приводит к изменению силы, действующей на зонд, а, значит, и изменению величины изгиба кантилевера. Таким

образом, регистрируя величину изгиба, можно сделать вывод о рельефе поверхности.

13. Read the text using the terminology from exercise 12 and describe the main principles of conductometry in the English language
Electrolytes are substances that produce free ions when they are placed into a solvent such as water. Their molecules split up into individual atomic components, which form ions, in a process called dissociation. Positively charged ions are cations, and those with a negative charge are anions. Due to the presence of free ions, electrolyte solutions behave as an electrically conductive medium.
Common electrolytes consist of salts, acids or bases. Electric properties of the conductor are described by Ohm's law I = U/R where I corresponds to a current, U is a voltage and R describes electric resistance. This resistance depends on the intrinsic properties of a conductor and on its shape as R = ρl/S where l is a conductor's length and S is a cross-sectional area. Every material is characterized by a specific resistance, ρ, that is given in units of m ( - ohm, a unit of electric resistance).
Electrical properties can be expressed also through the quantity, inverse to the resistance, conductivity. Its unit is S (Siemens), where 1S=1/Ω. Specific conductivity is inversely proportional to the specific resistance. It is expressed in units of S/m.
46
Conductometry means measuring the conductivity. A conductometer measures the electrical conductivity of ionic solutions. This is done by applying an electric field between two electrodes. The ions wander in this field. The anions migrate to the anode and the cations to the cathode.
The measuring unit used in conductivity measurements is the electrical resistance of the solution. This means that the conductivity is a sum parameter which includes all dissolved ions. Conductivity cannot be used for the determination of a single type of ion, unless the sample is a solution of a single salt or the concentrations of the other ions are known.

Nanoengineering
Nanoengineering (nanotechnology) is the practice of engineering on the nanoscale. It derives its name from the nanometer, a unit of measurement equaling one billionth of a meter.
Nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. Generally, nanotechnology deals with structures sized between 1 to 100 nanometer in at least one dimension, and involves developing materials or devices possessing at least one dimension within that size. Nanotechnology is very diverse, ranging from extensions of conventional device physics to completely new approaches based upon molecular self-assembly, from developing new materials with dimensions on the nanoscale to investigating whether we can directly control matter on the atomic scale.
Two main approaches are used in nanotechnology. In the "bottom-up" approach, materials and devices are built from molecular components which assemble themselves chemically by principles of molecular recognition. In the "top-down" approach, nano-objects are constructed from larger entities without atomic-level control.
Areas of physics such as nanoelectronics, nanomechanics, nanophotonics and nanoionics have evolved during the last few decades to provide a basic scientific foundation of nanotechnology.
Nanoparticles behave differently than other similarly sized particles. It is therefore necessary to develop specialized approaches to testing and monitoring their effects on human health and on the environment.
