Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of general, inorganic and organic chemistry. Writing chemical equations, stoichiometric calculations, and calculations of solution concentration and mixing will be used extensively.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
Basic laboratory course in preparative chemistry. Covers syntheses, properties and structures of simple inorganic and organic compounds, such as oxides, halides and other salts, acids and their functional derivatives, and complexes. At the end of the course students should be able to explain the principles that underpin selected synthetic processes, and why specialist techniques are required for their preparation.
