Entry knowledge

The subject is conceived as introduction to chemistry for students of electrical engineering, thus it does not requires any prerequisites except the knowledge of chemistry from secondary school and mandatory subjects of Electrotechnique I and II.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

The student will gain 20 points after performing all laboratory exercises and correct elaboration of all protocols. The final examination from laboratory knowledge will be scored by another 20 points. The minimal extent for elaboration of each laboratory exercise will be set by yearly actualized order of subject garant. Final oral examination will be scored by maximum of 60 points.
The conditions for successful passing will be set by yearly actualized order of subject garant.

Aims

The subject is framed to bring basic as well as applied knowledge in chemistry and electrochemistry to students of semestral projects, bachelor and diploma thesis. The experimental courses in electrochemical and electrotechnical laboratories also inhered to the subject. The attention is paid to manipulation with laboratory equipments together with precise, reproducible and safe fundamental analytical practises, such as preparation of solutions, filtration, titration and weighting.
The student will gain theoretic and applied knowledge in fundamentals of chemistry and electrochemistry. Based on this, the student will be able to precisely and safety perform any common laboratory practices, which are necessary for operation in chemical and electrochemical laboratories.
