Organic Chemistry with Elements of Biochemistry - Laboratory 1200-1CHJCHORL3
During the individual work every student will become familiar with fundamental laboratory techniques: crystallisation, distillation, extraction, chromatography as well as basic apparatus used in the laboratory of organic chemistry.
By performing the synthesis of simple organic compounds, the student consolidates their knowledge of organic chemistry, develops the habit of working in compliance with health and safety regulations, learns to properly plan their work, observe the course of the experiment, and keep regular notes in the laboratory journal.
Estimated student workload per semester – 175 hours, including:
90 hours of participation in classes
10 hours of consultations with the instructor
20 hours of preparation for entry tests on laboratory preparations
25 hours of preparation for mid-term tests
30 hours of preparation and submission of laboratory reports

Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE: Upon completing the course, the student knows and understands
K_W14
* the relationships between the structure and reactivity of organic molecules,
* the principles of safe work in an organic chemistry laboratory,
* methods of purifying organic compounds,
* the importance of careful experimental planning, monitoring the course of an experiment, and keeping accurate laboratory records.
SKILLS: Upon completing the course, the student is able to
K_U06, K_U11
* prepare typical written assignments, including descriptions and simple scientific papers in the fields of physics, chemistry, and radiochemistry, in both Polish and English, using basic computer tools.
In particular, the student can:
* design syntheses of simple organic compounds,
* assemble basic laboratory equipment,
* carry out the synthesis of a simple organic compound and purify the post-synthesis product.
SOCIAL COMPETENCES: Upon completing the course, the student is ready to
K_K01
* engage in continuous self-education and independently search for information in the literature, including foreign-language sources.
Assessment criteria
Attendance is mandatory. The absence of 2 classes can be excused and should be made up at another time.
The condition to get the positive mark from the laboratory is passing the theoretical and practical part. The final laboratory grade is the average of the grades from the theoretical part (tests and entrance exams) and the practical part (sythesis and chromatography exercise).
Practical placement
not applicable
