Syllabus

Basic course for the 1st year students of toxikology - lecture and seminary. It provides the most important general chemistry chapters and fundamentals of physical chemistry that are necessary for understanding the basic courses in other chemical disciplines Structure of atoms (nucleus, radioactivity, periodicity, atomic orbitals) and molecules (chemical bond, molecular orbitals).

Electric, magnetic and optical properties of compounds and materials (spectroscopy). States of matter (gases, liquids, solids).

Chemical kinetics (fundamentals). Equilibrium state and fundamentals of thermodynamics (1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics, thermochemistry).

Phase equilibria (Gibbs phase law, examples of important equilibria). Chemical equilibrium (kinetic approach, Gulberg-Waage law, equilibrium constant and composition - dependence on reaction conditions).

Introduction to electrochemistry (electrolytes, dissociation of water, pH, acids and bases - dissociation constant, salts - solubility and hydrolysis, buffers).

Annotation

Basic course for the 1st year students of chemistry. It provides the most important general chemistry chapters and fundamentals of physical chemistry that are necessary for understanding the basic courses in other chemical and biological disciplines.

Some passages are given in a simplified descriptive form without precise mathematical derivation, knowledge of differential and integral calculus is not required to follow the lecture. However, knowledge of mathematics and chemistry at the level of average secondary schools is assumed.

English version for Erasmus students is in the form of consultations.
