COURSE OBJECTIVES
The aim of the laboratory is a practical introduction to students of chemical calculations and
characterization of inorganic compounds, types of reactions, kinetics of reactions, ionic reactions,
redox, electrolysis, buffer solutions.
PREREQUISITES
BASIC SECONDARY SCHOOL KNOWLEDGE IN CHEMISTRY
KNOWLEDGE:
To familiarize students with the basic concepts of inorganic
chemistry
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Aims assume that the student solves problems in the field of
chemical stoichiometry, concentration, describes the
characteristics of inorganic chemical compounds, describes the
ionic reactions in aqueous solutions, redox.
SKILLS:
Acquisition of the ability to perform chemical experiments in the
laboratory. Understanding the principles of working with
laboratory equipment and ability to properly use them during
chemistry experiments. Learning outcomes assume that the
student: has mastered the manual skills necessary laboratory work,
maintenance equipment used in the laboratory. It analyzes
conducted experiments and observations derived on the basis of
their conclusions
FINAL COURSE OUTPUT - SOCIAL COMPETENCES
Knowledge of the applicable rules and the basic processes in
chemistry for understanding chemical phenomena occurring in
nature, in a variety of industries. Learning outcomes assume that
the student: plans and organizes own time, working team, shows
responsibility entrusted equipment for the work of their own and
others.
COURSE ORGANISATION –LEARNING FORMAT AND NUMBER OF HOURS
