Learning activities and teaching methods
Methods of individual activities, Laboratory work
Learning outcomes
The main aim of the course unit is to introduce and practise main patterns of physical organic chemistry. Education proceeds in using of experimental techniques as spectral, kinetic, pH, and pK measurement, which are usually used for observation and study of physical and chemical properties of organic compounds. Students use instrumentation of institute, individually solve specific problems from the area of physical organic chemistry using model compounds.
After graduation, student can individually apply experimental techniques usually used for study of physical and chemical properties of organic compounds. He is able to offer experimental technique for solving particular problem, to set experiment, to realize measurement, and after this, he can analyze and interpret results of experiment.
