prerequisite
Knowledge
Basic skills related to the nomenclature of simple inorganic compounds and notation of chemical reaction by the equations. Basic knowledge about building of mass and chemical processes.
learning outcomes
Students know the principles of chemical nomenclature and they can apply them to examples of simple inorganic compounds. Students are able to: - to create and quantify the chemical equation, - be acquainted with PSP (periodic system of elements), - solve computional tasks in chemistry, - apply basic knowledge of chemical thermodynamics, electrochemistry, reaction kinetics and chemical equilibrium to the examples of chemical processes. Students know fundamental methods about working in chemical laboratory.
