Course objectives
The course is intended primarily for first-year students of the Bachelor's degree programme Cosmetic Products. Its content is focused on the explanation and practice of basic chemical calculations, which the student will subsequently use in other, especially chemical subjects such as General and Inorganic Chemistry, Chemistry of Organic Substances, Basic Practical Classes in Chemistry, Analysis of Cosmetic Ingredients and Products, etc. The teaching will be in the form of seminars. In particular, calculations from chemical equations, stoichiometry, expression and recalculations of solution concentrations will be practiced. Emphasis is placed on understanding the basic principles underlying these calculations.
Learning outcomes
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:
- express the composition of compounds by different chemical formulas, calculate the composition of compounds in relation to their stoichiometric formula;
- balance chemical equations and perform calculations from chemical equations;
- calculate the composition of solutions (mass and volume fraction, molar concentration ...);
- calculate the pH of solutions of acids and bases;
- perform calculations using logical reasoning (direct and inverse proportion) without using formulas (if possible)
Syllabus
  • - Basic chemical terms, types of chemical formulas, stoichiometric calculations
  • - Chemical equations (balancing and calculations from chemical equations)
  • - Solutions - concentration calculations (mass fraction, volume fraction, molar concentration, diluting and mixing solutions)
  • - Calculations of pH, pKa, hydrolysis of salts, buffers
