Methodical instruction for students of (medical faculty)
LESSON 3 (6 hours)
Theme: 1. Introduction of biogenic elements. (3 hours).
2. Complex compound in biological systems (3 hours).
Aim: To study properties and biological function of s-, p-, and d-elements. To be able to determine of temporally hardness of water by a acid-base titration, and to determine of total hardness of water by a chelatometry.
Professional motivation: In living organism they’re over 75 chemical elements. Six from them is a carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus and sulphur, which is called oligoelements are basis for carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids. About 20 chemical elements are vitally important for human.
Derivative aminopolicarboxylic acids – complexones have been used in volumetric analysis for determination of metal ions concentration in solution. For example, Trilonum B with alkaline-earth metal was made complex, that used for quantitative determination their. Also Trilonium B has been used for determination of total hardness of water. Trilonum has been used at atherosclerosis and arthritises. Calcium-disodium etelrndiaminotitraacetic acid (EDTA), which is called calcium tetracene is used at venenatings by heavy metals or rare-earth and radio nuclides such as plutonium, ittrium, cerium, zirconium, and el.
