prerequisite
Knowledge
Students are able to solve the basic computational tasks with chemical subject and to build and to solve chemical equation.
learning outcomes
Students cope with: - basic procedures and methodology in solving computational tasks - relationships definition of basic variables (weight, amount of substance, volume, density, mass fraction, substance concentration, pH, etc,) using in chemical computation. Students apply theoretical knowledge to model situation in solving computational tasks. Students analyze and compare the various processes in solving computational tasks.
