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 equilibria, especially acid-base equilibria
- describe different types of chemical bonding and the relationship between bonding and properties of solids, solutions and gases
- 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. Reaction kinetics: zero, first and second order kinetics. Activation energy and Arrhenius equation. Intermolecular forces (chemical bonding) in gases, liquids, and solids. The three laws of thermodynamics and the concepts enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. Electrochemistry. Laboratory exercises illustrate important principles discussed in the course.
