Course objectives
The main objectives of the course is to become oriented in the enviroment of chemical laboratory and its equipment, to acquire simple laboratory procedures and techniques, to practice common separation procedures and become familiar with handling common laboratory machines.Students will learn to handle laboratory data into the lab reports, to solve the problems and derive conclusions.
Learning outcomes
Students will familiar with regulations for safe handling, use, and disposal of chemicals
will be able to handle with basal laboratory equipment and follow proper procedures and Student will demonstrate understanding
- will understand relationship between the composition of different solutions, beverages and body fluids and their pH value
- will be able to describe the general composition and role of the buffers, explain their function and apply this knowledge in explaining the role of buffering systems in the organism, will prepare a buffer
- to describe the essence of the formation of insoluble and poorly soluble compounds, to identify factors that can influence the insolubility of compounds
- will be oriented in relations bettween a structure od bioorganic molecules and their reactivity
- will explain principles of chromatographic methods, their aplications and utilization
applies photometric methods for determination of solution concentration

Teaching methods
The course is realized in laboratories. Students are doing simple experiments according to the instructions in the textbook.On the base of results they prepare the lab-reports.
Assessment methods
Conditions for giving credit:Full attendance in all lessons (making up all missing and justified lessons), completion of all lab reports and handing them to the teacher till given date.Twelve test are writen during the semester. Student will recieve course unit credit, if he has at least 70% of points. The other students will write the credit test.This test has 30 questions and student must obtain at least 12 points. The test can be once time repeated.
Language of instruction
