Recognition of Properties and Identification of Chemical Products

The course Recognition of Properties and Identification of Chemical Products trains the professional to characterize materials accurately for quality control, environmental, and clinical analyses. It begins by distinguishing pure substances, with constant physical properties, from mixtures, whose properties vary, teaching purification and separation techniques such as filtration, decanting, and distillation.

After isolation, qualitative and quantitative analytical chemistry is applied, with precipitation, redox, and complexation tests, including identification of Group I cations and flame tests. The course integrates physical-chemical and microbiological analysis, including aseptic sampling, biosafety, staining (Gram and Ziehl-Neelsen), and accurate microbial quantification (Neubauer chamber and CFU).

The final module emphasizes data organization and validation, using descriptive statistics (mean, variance, standard deviation) and tabular and graphical representations following IBGE standards. Conclusions are formalized in technical-scientific reports with impersonal language, and the reports must be archived for five years to ensure traceability.
