Course content
Solving chemical calculations, basic concepts, reviewing and extending the knowledge of inorganic chemistry nomenclature, introduction to the new translation of IUPAC nomenclature. Model problems on the composition of substances and preparation of solutions, calculations of concentrations, composition and dilution of solutions will be solved. Attention will be paid to practicing stoichiometry, calculating chemical equations. Calculations from chemical equations are an essential part.

Learning outcomes
Recapitulation and improvement of secondary-school knowledge in the field of chemical calculations and nomenclature of inorganic compounds.
Nomenclature of inorganic chemistry - traditional, according to the IUPAC. Chemical calculations in inorganic chemistry (composition of compounds, mixtures, solutions; saturated solutions and crystallization, chemical equations, stoichiometric calculations, ideal gas equation).
Prerequisites
Basic secondary school level knowledge.

Assessment methods and criteria
Systematic student observation, Test

Continuous testing and verification of knowledge of inorganic chemistry terminology and calculations, with more than 60% required in each area.
