Course objectives

The course “Chemical synthesis – laboratory“ represents an elementary laboratory course of preparatory chemistry in bachelor’s studies and aims for deepening and adopting fundamental as well as complementary techniques used in synthetic organic and inorganic chemistry (e.g. vacuum distillation, work under lowered temperatures, column chromatography, synthesis in waterless environment, …) including selected physico-chemical methods for identification of products (determining melting point and refractive index, gas chromatography, IR spectroscopy). Exercises are chosen carefully to cover the most common and important types of chemical reactions, which are discussed in lectures on inorganic and organic chemistry, allowing the students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice.

Learning outcomes

By the end of this course, students:
- will have mastered elementary and complementary techniques commonly used in inorganic and organic synthesis.
- will be capable of handling laboratory equipment necessary for analysis of purity and identification of prepared solutions with ease (gas chromatograph, IR spectrometer, refractometer, melting point apparatus and others).
- will have built self-confidence and gained manual skillfulness essential for work in chemical laboratory.
- will be able to explain chemical nature of selected preparatory techniques. Exercises were chosen carefully to cover the most common and important types of chemical reactions, which are discussed in lectures on inorganic and organic chemistry, allowing the students to apply their theoretical knowledge in practice.
- will have learnt to report thoroughly on outcomes of their work and will have mastered basic chemical calculations needed for their laboratory praxis.

Teaching methods

The education is realized as a laboratory course, which takes place once a week and the laboratory course covers basic laboratory operations, which are practiced on the real inorganic and organic syntheses. In the end the students have to work out the laboratory reports.

Assessment methods

The course can also be completed outside the examination period. The course is taught annually. The course is taught: every week.

Language of instruction

Czech

Further comments (probably available only in Czech)
