Course abstract
In study course „Inorganic chemistry” students are acquainted with structure of matter and atoms, different types of chemical bonds, chemical kinetic and equilibrium, theory of electrolytic dissociation and protolytic theory. This course of study gives the information about chemical elements, which contained food products, compounds and properties of these elements.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
Knowledge. Students are able to show deep knowledge of important issues of the general chemistry as well as the chemical elements and its compounds. Obtained knowledge allow to construct different types of chemical equations and to determine the properties of more important compounds.
Skills. Students are able independently to carry out the chemical experiments and to explain the experimental results. Obtained theoretical and practical skills allow to acquire organic and food chemistry courses as well as other subsequent chemistry related courses.
Competence. Knowledge obtained in the study course allow students for qualified interpretation of literature facts. Students are able independently to formulate and critically to analyze problems connected with the chemical composition and properties of raw materials and food products.
