Course objectives
The goal of the basic practice in chemistry for cosmetology in the bachelor's study program is to master the basic techniques used in a regular laboratory. Tasks are chosen to cover most basic laboratory operations, determination of physico-chemical constants and chemical calculations. In the second part of the course, students will try out the preparation of selected auxiliary substances used in cosmetics (aromatic esters, dyes, preservatives, etc.).
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, students will master basic laboratory techniques and measurements (separation of mixtures, weighing, distillation, extraction, crystallization, measurement of refractive index, melting temperature, chromatography, assembly of apparatus, pipetting, titration). They should be able to work independently in the laboratory.
Syllabus

  • - Basic laboratory technique - introduction, laboratory glassware, work and safety in the laboratory, assembly of basic chemical apparatus, waste management
    - Reactions from inorganic chemistry - test tube reactions, boric acid
    - Introduction to analytical chemistry - precision weighing, pipetting, titration.
    - Laboratory techniques in the synthetic laboratory - crystallization, thin-layer chromatography, extraction, distillation under normal pressure
    - Selected synthetic tasks for the preparation of auxiliary substances in cosmetology - isopentyl acetate, azo dyes, acetylsalicylic acid
