Bases of chemistry 2 WF-OB-PCH2
The course is conducted in the form of lectures and laboratory exercises. The aim of the lectures is to introduce students to the world of chemical language, models, and laws. Coverage includes: the nomenclature of inorganic compounds, the structure of the periodic table and the resulting properties of the elements, the structure of the atom, chemical bonds, redox reactions, the thermodynamics of chemical reactions, the elements of electrochemistry, the elements of quantum chemistry, and methods of expressing concentrations, along with examples. The aim of the laboratory exercises is to familiarize students with the principles of safe work in a chemistry laboratory, basic equipment and glassware, as well as simple techniques for pipetting, titration, and preparing solutions.

KNOWLEDGE:
Lecture: The student defines the basic laws of general chemistry (T.01-T.04, T.07-T.11); describes the structure of atoms and elementary particles (T.01, T.02), characterises chemical bonds (T.04), describes the structure of the periodic table and the properties of elements resulting from their position in the table (T.03, T.06), defines types of concentrations (T.07), distinguishes between redox and exchange reactions and justifies the choice (T.10)
Laboratory exercises: The student understands the health and safety rules applicable in a chemistry laboratory, lists the names of laboratory glassware, describes the course of the exercises in general terms and presents the course of a chemical reaction, defines concepts related to a given exercise
SKILLS:
Lecture: Students name inorganic compounds (T.05), solve problems involving concentrations and redox reactions (T.07, T.10)
Laboratory exercises: Students analyse the course of the exercise, draw simple conclusions, perform simple chemical calculations
COMPETENCE:
The student applies the principles of safe work in a chemical laboratory and solves chemical problems.

Assessment criteria
Lecture:
Two excused absences are permitted. The course grade is based on the grade from the written exam. A passing grade from the laboratory exercises is required for admission to the exam. The maximum score for the exam is 50. The grade is based on the number of points obtained:
The grade is based on the number of points obtained:
46-50 points - 5
41-45 points - 4.5
36-40 points - 4
31-35 points - 3.5
26-30 points - 3
Laboratory:
Two excused absences are permitted. The course grade is based on the weighted average of the grades from the entrance tests (weighted 0.6) and the laboratory reports (weighted 0.4).
