Learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to
- account for the electron structure at atoms and the theoretical background to the periodic system
- describe various types of chemical bonding and relate the bond strength to the physical properties of matter
- account for the meaning of common properties and concepts within reaction kinetics and carry out calculations within basic kinetics
- carry out calculations within basic thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium
- carry out stoichiometric calculations
- carry out simpler laboratory work in a correct and safe way and carry out simpler risk and security assessments
- document laboratory work in laboratory journal and oral/in writing account for the results of the laboratory session
- give examples of how parts of the course connect to activities within society and industry with relevance for the education
- describe how the course content has importance for man, the environment, and society
Content
Basic descriptive organic and inorganic chemistry, chemical bonding, inter and intramolecular forces, stoichiometry, basic kinetics, thermodynamics, and electrochemistry, chemical equilibria including the buffer systems, laboratory methodology and basic risk assessment
Instruction
Lectures, lessons, laboratory work, seminars and project.
Assessment
Written examinations are organised at the end of the course and corresponds 5 credits. The laboratory sessions correspond to 4 credits and assignments 1 credit. To pass final grades is required that all parts have been assessed passed. The final grade corresponds to a weighted sum of the results of the written examination and the laboratory sessions.
