Course objectives
The lessons are focused on recapitulation of secondary school knowledge of physics and on improvement of students` knowledge in fields that are related to both qualitative and quantitative explaining of chemical phenomena. The first half of the course is devoted to recapitulation and improvement of mathematical subject matter in the range necessary for following education in physics and for making calculations in general, physical and analytical chemistry.
Learning outcomes
After finishing this course, the student will be able to:
- solve easy physical calculation examples,
- deduce dimensions of physical quantities, using calculation formulas for the quantities,
- understand how chosen physical and chemical calculation formulas (rules) are deduced (also by means of mathematical analysis),
- use differential and integral calculus to solve easy physical and chemical exercises,
- will have a basic overview about chosen instruments and physical methods used in chemical laboratories.
Syllabus
  • Week 1: Linear function. Week 2: Derivative, differential Week 3: Integral, differential equation. Week 4: Physical quantities and their units. Basic rules for working with vectors. Week 5: Mechanics: speed, acceleration (linear and circular movements). Force, work, energy: Newton's laws, momentum, torque sentence, pressure, Archimedes' law, Stokes law, labor and energy, moment of inertia. Week 6: Waves (general). Electromagnetic waves: energy, wavelength, color, laws of ray optics, polarization. Week 7: Thermodynamics: an absolute scale, the triple point, latent heat, specific heat, calorimetry equation. Week 8: Electricity and magnetism: electric charge, Coulomb's law, electric field strength, electric potential, dipole, current, resistance, conductivity, Ohm's law, magnetic field, magnetic properties of matter. Week 9: Selected laboratory instruments and equipment: Beckmann thermometer, pycnometer, stalagmometer, calorimeter, Höppler viscometer, Abbe refractometer, polarimeter, ammeter, voltmeter, photometer, spectrophotometer. 10 to 12 Week: Laboratory training (viscosity, surface tension, heat capacity of the calorimeter, refractive index, light absorption, polarimetry).

Teaching methods
lectures, laboratory training
Assessment methods
Colloquium (oral) after written test.
The written test takes 60 minutes. The students solve 10 calculation examples similar to the ones that are in the example collection available by means of Informational System in section Study Materials. To take part at colloquium, at least 7 examples must be solved correctly.
