Collect, process and analyze information in the field of geographical sciences, in particular to solve problems of geomorphology, palaeogeography and naturally cognitive tourism. LO08. Apply models, methods of physics, chemistry, geology, ecology, mathematics, information technology, etc. in the study of processes of relief formation and development, individual objects and processes of the geosphere, for the organization and functioning of naturally cognitive tourism.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1) basic theoretical provisions of chemistry studied in the school curriculum of the course; 2) to have elementary skills of writing inorganic reactions and performing the simplest mathematical operations; 3) solve problems for each topic; 4) to have the skills of operations in a chemical laboratory.
Course content
The content of the discipline reveals the theoretical foundations of the laws of chemistry and geochemistry, the structure of the atom and D. I. Mendeleev's periodic law and periodic system, types of chemical bonds and their influence on the chemical properties of chemical compounds, the main classes of inorganic compounds, oxidation-reduction processes, patterns of course chemical processes, solutions, basic physical and chemical properties of metallic and non-metallic elements. Special attention is paid to geochemical classification of elements, general laws of migration of chemical elements in the atmosphere and hydrosphere. In the course program, laboratory work and practical classes are planned, during which students get acquainted with the simplest techniques of chemical experiments and consolidate the theoretical knowledge acquired during the lectures.
