Kinetics och chemical reactions. A didactic material for high schools.
Koldová, Veronika ; Holada, Karel (referee) ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor)
Summary: The aim of the thesis was to create didactic materials for teaching of kinetics of chemical reactions in the frame of high-school chemistry. The Framework Educational Plan and employed chemistry textbooks are the groundwork of the Thesis. The three projects of two-hours lessons and laboratory course were created. The other prepared didactic materials concerned on the kinetics of chemical reactions are: PowerPoint presentation, didactic stories, working sheet, problem exercises, didactic games, didactic test, and conception map. The experiments on chemical kinetics were collected, tested, and videotaped.

Isolation and characterisation of biologically active substances
Kettnerová, Eliška ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Musilová, Adéla (referee)
This Bachelor thesis aims at isolation and partial identification of biologically active substances which are produced by actinomycetes and can be potentially applied in medicine. Cultivation broths of actinomycetes containing their metabolites were purified and pre-concentrated by solid phase extraction. Then, the bioassay of the extracts by Kirby-Bauer test using the sensitive strain Kocuria rhizophila was performed. Biologically active metabolites were analyzed and isolated by ultra- performance liquid chromatography with photo diode array detector. Isolated substances were assayed by mass spectrometry, which yielded relative molecular mass values of the unknown compounds. The values were compared with relative molecular masses of compounds listed in a chemical database, which involves natural products including antibiotics. We revealed that the unknown biologically active substances do not refer to any already discovered compound present in the database suggesting that the unknown compounds may be novel. More mass spectrometry and nuclear resonance experiments have to be carried out in order to elucidate their structure. Key words: actinomycetes, antibiotics, SPE, UPLC, HPLC Subject heading: analysis of secondary metabolites, bioassay test, isolation of biologically active compounds,...

Comparision of methods for sulphide determination
Zlámalová, Magda ; Červený, Václav (referee) ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor)
The aim of this work is determination of sulphides in a solution by suitable methods and it's subsequent comparison from a point of view to the precision, financial and time demands. Iodometric titration, argentometric titration, and potassium ferricyanide titration were chosen for the determination of sulphides in the solution. Anhydrous sodium sulphide and sodium sulphide hydrate were used as model samples. From the point of view to financial and time demands the most advantageous method was potassium ferricyanide titration and the least advantageous method was iodometric titration. The precision of used methods was dependent on type of used sample. Iodometry was the least precise determination of sulphides in the sample of anhydrous sodium sulphide; the precision of argentometry and potassium ferricyanide titration was comparable. Potassium ferricyanide titration was the most precise determination of sulphides in the sample of sodium sulfide hydrate; the least precise determination was argentometry.

Hajduová, Jana ; Rychlovský, Petr (referee) ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor)
Title: Determination of dissociation exponents of selected polyaza derivatives Annotation: The aim of this thesis is extimation of dissociation exponets of seclected polyaza derivatives by acid-base titration with potentiometric registration of titration curve. The titration curve was processed using Hyperquad 2006 software. The satisfactory agreement of determined values of dissociation exponents with literature data was found. Key words: dissociation exponent, potentiometric titration, polyaza compounds

Cobalt phthalocyanines as sensors for detection of htiol groups
Vaňková, Kateřina ; Nesměrák, Karel (advisor) ; Schwarzová, Karolina (referee)
Title: Cobalt phthalocyanines as sensors for determination of thiol groups Annotation: The possibility of employment of cobalt phthalocyanine as a material for the modification of HOPG electrode for construction of a sensor for quantification of thiol groups was studied. Thiol groups are occurring in various biologically active substances (sulfur amino acids). The electrochemical behavior of cobalt tetraneopentoxy-phthalocyanine (CoTNPc) in the water/organic phase system was studied, and individual peaks of cyclic voltammogram of the compound were identified. The electrodeposition of CoTNPc on HOPG electrode was found as a suitable method for construction of the sensor for quantification of thiol groups. The reproducibility of fabrication of the sensor and its time-stability was studied. The calibration dependencies for model analytes (cysteine hydrochloride and homocysteine) were measured. Key words: thiols, phthalocyanines, amperometric sensor, cyclic voltammetry

Testing of Polished Silver Solid Amalgam Composite Electrode for Voltammetric Determination of Environmental Pollutants
Dědík, Jan ; Nesměrák, Karel (referee) ; Vyskočil, Vlastimil (advisor)
The aim of this study was the finding of applicable conditions for the determination of selected model environmental pollutants, namely 5-nitrobenzimidazole and picric acid, using DC voltammetry (DCV) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) at a polished silver solid amalgam composite electrode (p-AgSAE-CE) in the aqueous solution of Britton-Robinson (BR) and finding of the limit of quantification (LQ) for these substances. For 5-nitrobenzimidazole, the optimum conditions of voltammetric determination have been found in the medium of B-R buffer pH 5, but any calibration dependences were obtained. The reason was the deteriorating quality of 5-nitrobenzimidazole response even if the routine pretreatment of working electrode was maintained. This resulted in obtaining of irreproducible results upon the determination of 5-nitrobenzimidazole. For picric acid, the optimum conditions have been found for both DPV and DCV at p-AgSAE-CE in the medium of B-R buffer pH 2. The concentration dependences were measured in the range 1.10-6 - 1.10-4 mol.L-1 for DPV with the value of reached LQ 2,5.10-7 mol.L-1 and, for DCV, in the range 1.10-7 - 1.10-4 mol.L-1 with LQ calculated as 5,5.10-8 mol.L-1 . For comparison of newly developed voltammetric methods of picric acid determination, a UV-VIS spectrophotometric...
