The aim of the course is to acquire by a student knowledge regarding the structure of matter with particular emphasis on chemical elements and inorganic compounds and their role in nature and environmental protection; acquiring experience in laboratory work.
Basic knowledge in the area of chemistry and physics.
Lecture: Principal definitions and chemical laws. Atomic structure, electron configuration, periodic table of elements. Electronegativity. Chemical bonds : covalent, hydric, ion, Van der Waals' interactions. Types of reactions. Chemical equations and stechiometry. Solutions and their properties. Thermal effects of chemical reactions. Equilibrium in electrolyte solutions, equilibrium constant, Ostwald’s dilution law, definitions of acids and bases, pH, ionic reactions, buffers, hydrolysis, acid/base titration. Gases. General chracteristics of elements of S-, P-, D and F-block. Characteristics of selected elements, occurrence, physical and chemical properties, electronic structure. Analysis of ions and cations, representative reactions.
Laboratory: Basic rules regarding chemical labolatory work and basic labolatory techniques. Base and acid solutions. Titration curves. Buffers. Preparing solutions with specified concentration, composition and pH. pH indicators. Identification and properties of selected cations. Water hardness and water pollutions. Colorimetric analysis.

Lecture - final exam in written. The exam takes 90 minutes and involves 5 problems requiring discussion. In order to get credit for a sufficient assessment, it is required to obtain 60 points (60%) out of 100 points possible.
Laboratory - The student is obligated to prepare a report after each laboratory exercise. Furthermore, the students write one evaluation test. Final assessment is an arithmetic mean of partial assessments.
