Abstract

Ovaj rad sastoji se od istraživačkog i metodičkog dijela. U istraživačkom dijelu istražen je proces spontanog
taloženja kalcijeva karbonata u prisustvu poli-L-asparaginske kiseline kao modelnog taložnog sustava za
istraživanja biomineralizacije u morskim organizmima. Napredovanje procesa taloženja praćeno je
potenciometrijski, a talozi karakterizirani infracrvenom spektroskopijom i pretražnom elektronskom
mikroskopijom. Svi relevantni početni parametri taložnog sustava (prezasićenost,... More omjer aktiviteta kalcijevih i
karbonatnih iona, temperatura, ionska jakost) bili su konstantni, a promatrani su utjecaji početnog pH (pH0) u
rasponu od 8,5 do 10,5 te koncentracije poli-L-asparaginske kiseline. Proces taloženja kalcijeva karbonata je
inhibiran u cijelom ispitivanom području pH0 vrijednosti zbog djelovanja poli-L-asparaginske kiseline, a efekt je
izraženiji u sinergiji s Mg2+ ionima. U metodičkom dijelu rada pod naslovom Kemija u kapljici tvrde vode načinjen
je pregled i kritički osvrt udžbeničke i stručne literature na zadanu temu. Opisana je nastavna jedinica za 90-
minutni nastavni sat za učenike četvrtog razreda gimnazije te su predloženi radni listić i uputa za nastavnike
temeljena na učenju otkrivanjem. Less

Abstract (english)

This Diploma thesis consist of two parts: the research part and the methodological part. The research part
investigates the process of spontaneous precipitation of calcium carbonate in the presence of poly-L-aspartic acid
as a model precipitation system for biomineralization research in marine organisms. The progress of the
precipitation process was monitored potentiometrically and the precipitate were characterized by infrared
spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. All... More relevant initial parameters of the precipitation system
(supersaturation, calcium and carbonate ion activity ratio, temperature, ionic strength) were constant and the
influence of the initial pH (pH0) in the range of 8,5 to 10,5 and the concentration of poly-L-aspartic acid were
investigated. The process of calcium carbonate precipitation is inhibited in the whole examined range of pH0 values
due to the influence of poly-L-aspartic acid, and the effect is more pronounced in synergy with Mg2+ ions. In the
methodological part of the Thesis entitled Chemistry in a drop of hard water, critical review of textbooks and
professional literature was made. The class for a 90-minute lesson for fourth-grade high school students is
described while worksheets and instructions based on discovery learning are proposed to teachers as well. Less
