Course objectives
The students will be acquainted with the subject of chemistry including the basic branches of chemistry and the importance of chemistry for pharmacists. The course will focus on the following items: fundamental chemical terms and laws, equations for calculating the quantity of substance and concentration, atomic structure, radioactivity, models of atomic orbitals, chemical bond including hybridization, physical states of matter, the periodic law and the classification of elements including forms and the division of the periodic system into groups, and the properties of individual elements in the periodic table.
Seminars will concentrate on problems such as calculating the amount of substance, composition of solutions, diluting and mixing solutions, formation of chemical formulas and balancing equations for stoichiometric calculations, and the calculation of the pH. During practical exercises, the students will be acquainted with the basics of laboratory work and will also prepare some inorganic compounds according to calculated equations. The students will elaborate protocols containing the description of the principle of the method and all calculations including the calculation of theoretical yield which will be compared with the practical yield obtained.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course student will:
-know basic chemical glassware,equipment and apparatus;
-be able to perform basic laboratory operations independently;
-know inorganic compound nomenclature and basic chemical clculations;
-understand the basic principles of general chemistry;
-know basic chemistry of elements

Assessment methods
During the semester is necessary to fulfil requirements stipulated during the course:
- Compulsory participation in seminars and laboratory courses.
- The obligation to prepare protocols from all practical tasks. The protocols must be approved by the teacher.
- Success in continuous tests in nomenclature and calculations at least 60% in average.

Written test of the final exam consist of three parts: nomenclature and calculations, general chemistry and inorganic chemistry. To pass the exam at lest 50% correct answers is necessary.

The course can also be completed outside the examination period.
Teacher's information
Completion of the course.
Students must pass requirements stipulated during the course of the semester's teaching activities.
  • Full attendance on the seminars.
  • Completion of all practical class.
  • Preparation of protocols from every particular task. The protocols must be approved by a teacher. Deadline for the approved protocols is 15th of the December 2023.
  • At least 60% successfulness in the tests on practical class and seminars. The overall successfulness will be calculated as an average of all tests results. In case of average evaluation of the test less than 60 % will be possible to write a test, consisting of all types of task. To fulfill the requirements is necessary to achieve at least 60 % successfulness.
According to the Masaryk University Study and Examination Regulations, in case of fail to fulfil requirements stipulated during the course of the semester's teaching activities, the teacher shall record a grade of “X” in the IS MU. This grade precludes the student from registering for course completion. The exam:
The exam will be written and the test will consist of two parts:
1. Computational problems from general chemistry similar to problems that were
dealt with in the tutorial
For this part are only simple scientific calculators permitted, no mobile phones or any
other material.
2. Questions from general and inorganic chemistry.
To answer this part of the test you may use presentations, textbooks or your notes from the lecture. Using mobile phones or any electronic devices is not allowed.
The duration of each part will be 90 minutes.
Any form of academic dishonesty (e.g., cheating, deception, fabrication, plagiarism,
sabotage, etc.) will result in the test percentage of 0% .
To determine the final grade in this course the percentage will be converted to a letter grade
according to the following grading scheme:
100 90 % A excellent
89 80 % B very good
79 70 % C good
69 60 % D satisfactory
49 50% E sufficient
< 49 % F fail
The course is also listed under the following terms Autumn 2020, Autumn 2021, Autumn 2022, Autumn 2023.
