Course content
Introduction to basic concepts, chemical formulas and nomenclature. Atomic structure, basic orbital theory and electron configuration. Period system, electronegativity and chemical bonding types. Moles, concentrations (molar, mass percent) and dilution. Chemical reactions, reaction equations and stoichiometry. Thermochemistry (enthalpy, exothermic / endothermic reactions). Chemical equilibria, reaction quotient and Le Chatelier's principle. Acids, bases, pH, buffer solutions, titration. Solubility, solubility product and precipitation reactions. Oxidation and reduction reactions (oxidation numbers and balancing). Chemical substances and HSE.
Learning outcome
The student can explain basic atomic theory, orbital theory and the periodic system, and use this to indicate elementary electron configurations for elements and ions. The student can describe relationships between electron structure, chemical properties and bonds for elements and chemical compounds. The student can apply nomenclature rules to name inorganic compounds. The student can explain basic chemical bonding theories, as well as use electronegativity to determine the type of bonding. The student can set up Lewis structures. The student should be able to demonstrate knowledge of some important main types of chemical reactions and draw up reaction equations based on this. The student can balance reaction equations and perform calculations on the basis of such equations (stoichiometry). The student can calculate enthalpy and indicate whether reactions are exothermic or endothermic. The student can calculate mass, amount of substance and concentration. The student can perform chemical equilibrium calculations and apply Le Chatellier's principle. The student can calculate pH, solubility and buffer capacity. The student can set up and balance oxidation and reduction reactions. The student should be able to conduct simple chemical laboratory tests and document results in simple reports based on standardized methods. The student can demonstrate the importance of HSE in general, and in the laboratory work special. The candidate should be able to handle chemicals properly and use safety data sheets.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, exercises and laboratory work. Lectures: 60 hours Laboratory course: 10 hours Exercises: 30 hours Own effort: 110 hours
Compulsory assignments
- Laboratory skills
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
5 practical laboratory exercises with submission of 5 reports must be approved to be able to prepare for the exam. At least 6 individual exercises must be approved to be able to pass the exam. Deferred examination: May / June. In case of postponed examination (continuation examination), written examination may be changed to oral examination. Permitted aids on the exam: Gordon Aylward and Tristan Findlay: SI Chemical Data, Wiley. Only simple calculators may be used during the examination. For applications for credentialing, approval and integration of courses from previous years or other institutions' equivalent education, each application will be dealt with individually and the applicant must be able to count credits for overlapping courses.
