Course content
The theoretical part contains the gas laws, chemical equilibria and the law of mass action, acids and bases, aqueous equilibria, solubility and complex formation, basic thermodynamics and electrochemistry. Introduction to quantum mechanical models of the atom. A compulsory safety course, including fire prevention and first aid has to be passed in order for admission to the laboratory course.
Learning outcome
After a completed course the student masters the theoretical and experimental foundation necessary for following a second course in inorganic, organic and physical chemistry as well as in chemical process engineering. The student can
- describe chemical reaction types in terms of balanced chemical equations
- calculate equilibrium pressures and concentrations in reacting gas mixtures and aqueous solutions, including calculation of pH and solubility
- calculate changes in internal energy, enthalpy, entropy and free energy associated with chemical reactions
- calculate the cell potential for electrochemical cells
- describe atomic orbitals and the aufbau principle
- assess the electron configuration of an element from its position in the periodic table
- perform simple chemical analyses in the laboratory (for example acid-base titration, determination of formula weights, calorimetry)
- asses laboratory safety and plan and perform safe experiments in the lab
Learning methods and activities
The course is taught through lectures and group exercises. The exercises are compulsory and 70% must be approved together with the laboratory course and two semester tests, to give access to the final exam, which may include topics that have been treated in the laboratory course. The project work during Teknostart is part of the course. The assessment in the course is based on a final written exam. If there is a re-sit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
