Course content
KJ1000 contains an introduction into basic concept and models used in chemistry: atoms, molecules and crystalline compounds (electron configuration and bonding theory): the periodic system for the elements: stoichiometri, chemical formulas and chemical equations: the properties of gases and liquids (solutions): chemical equilibria in general and for acids, bases and salts: basic chemical thermodynamics (thermochemistry and Gibbs free energy): electrochemistry (electrolytes, reductions and oxidations, electrochemical cells and electrolysis): chemical kinetics and basic nuclear chemistry.
Learning outcome
When KJ1000 is completed the students should be able to:
- Identify different chemical reactions and be able to perform stoichiometric calculations, balance chemical equations and name ordinary chemical compounds
- Perform calculations for equilibria in gaseous mixtures and in aqueous solutions, including calculations of pH, solubility and colligative properties
- Perform basic thermodynamic calculations based on knowledge about entropy, enthalpy and Gibbs free energy, and relate these properties to chemical equilibria
- Understand the principles for galvanic cells/batteries and for electrolysis, and be able to use these principles in chemical calculations, including for chemical equilibria, and have knowledge about electrolysis used in industry
- Describe different types of chemical bonding, explain why such bonds are formed, and be able to explain the basis for the different structures and geometries of small molecules
- Explain the kinetics for simple chemical reactions, recognize different types of reaction mechanisms from rate laws and reaction orders, and have knowledge about catalysis and how catalysis affect reaction rates. Know the most abundant classes of organic compounds.
- Explain the fundamentals of nuclear chemistry and understand and describe different radioactive processes
- Perform basic chemical experiments in the laboratory and describe their results through laboratory reports
Learning methods and activities
Lectures (4 hours per week), exercises (2 hours per week)and laboratory work (ca. 10 hours per week for 10 weeks incl. writing of reports). Six of ten theory excercises have to be passed. Three specific of the ten exercises are compulsory. Required for final exam: Approved exercises and laboratory course. Final examination: 5 hours written examination. For extraordinary examinations, written examination may be changed to oral examination. Only simple calculators may be used under the examination.
Compulsory assignments
- Approved laboratory course
- Approved exercises
