Aims

Basic knowledge of general and physical chemistry

as a preparation for the courses in Solid state

chemistry, Corrosion, Physical metallurgy,

Metallic materials and Ceramic materials. The

laboratory course should familiarise the student

with work in a chemical laboratory.

Content

Stoichiometry, chemical thermodynamics, chemical

equilibria, electrochemistry and chemical

kinetics.

Laboratory work: Solubility equilibria,

acid-base titrations and titration curves,

calorimetry, electrolytic conductivity,

electromotive force of chemical cells, reaction

kinetics, spectrophotometry.

Instruction

Lectures, lessons, laboratory work.

Assessment

Written examination at the end of the course. Passed laboratory course is also required. Practical exercises and laboratory work are assigned 1 point.
