About the course
Aim
The course is an introduction to chemistry studies and aims to provide basic knowledge in the subject of chemistry. After completing the course, the student is expected to be able to:
- explain the meaning of central concepts in chemical kinetics and solve basic kinetics problems
- explain central concepts in chemical equilibria and solve problems concerning gas equilibria, acid-base equilibria, solubility equilibria and buffer systems
- discuss different types of chemical bonding and the relationship between bonding and properties of solids, solutions and gases and perform calculations of some properties
- explain the reactivity of chemical reactions using basic thermodynamic concepts and perform simple thermodynamic calculations
- explain the basics of electrochemistry and electrochemical applications, and calculate properties of electrochemical cells
- perform some basic laboratory techniques, analyse chemical experimental data and write laboratory reports
Content
Chemical equilibrium, e.g. equilibria of acids and bases and solubility. Intermolecular forces (chemical bonding) in gases, liquids, and solids. Colligative properties and phase diagrams. Reaction kinetics: zero, first and second order kinetics. Activation energy and Arrhenius equation. The three laws of thermodynamics and the concepts enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. Electrochemistry. Three laboratory exercises illustrate important principles discussed in the course.
