Course objectives
The course is dedicated for first year students. The seminars are focused mostly to calculation procedures, which are necessary for successful passing all the chemical courses, particularly the General and Inorganic Chemistry. It includes stoichiometry, chemical equations based calculations, calculations regarding solutions concentrations, etc. We put the accent on understanding the principles of these calculations. Attention will be also given to nomenclature of inorganic compounds and electron structural formulas.

Learning outcomes
Student after the course will be able to:
- Calculate composition of solutions (nass percents, molarity);
- Calculate mass composition of compounds based on their stoichiometric formulas;
- Use the chemical equations for apropriate calculations;
- Calculate basic tasks with solubility product;
- Calculate pH of acids and bases solutions based on their characteristics (pKa, concentration, dissociation rate, etc)
Syllabus
  • - solution composition - calculations of mass fraction, mass percents, molarity and relationships between them
  • - setting-up and balancing chemical equations
  • - stoichiometry - elemental analysis, calculations based on chemical equations
  • - balancing of redox equations
  • - The solubility product - basic calculations
  • - pH, pKa, acidobasics equilibria, hydrolysis of salts, buffers

Study Materials
The course can also be completed outside the examination period.
Teacher's information
The seminars are mandatory.
You will need a simple, non-programmable scientific calculator. No mobile phones are permitted as calculators.
Two tests will be writen during this course.

You have three attempts to get the credit for this course.
A) Regular attempt - At the end of the course an average percentage from two tests will be calculated. Those who will reach average of 60% or more will get the credit automatically.
B) Two attempt of make-up (reparatory) attempt - Students, who did not obtain an average result at least 60% from the tests written during the semester, must write a global test covering the whole course. In order to get the credit, 60% of the points have to be gained. Its duration will be approx 1.5 hours.
The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2020, Autumn 2021, Autumn 2022, Autumn 2024.
