Aim:
The aim of the course is to provide the necessary basis of the chemical science for further studies in chemistry, chemical biology, engineering biology and others. After passing the course the student is expected to have gained the following competences:
- knowledge of chemical reactions, their driving forces and kinetics
- knowledge of chemical equilibrium, e.g., equilibria of acids and bases
- knowledge of the basic laws of thermodynamics, in particular their application on chemical systems
- knowledge of different types of chemical bonding and the relationship between bonding and state of aggregation and other properties of solids, solutions, and gases
- an ability in analysing chemical experimental data

Supplementary courses:
Inorganic chemistry
|
|
Organisation:
The course consists of lectures, lessons and laboratory exercises
|
|
Course contents:
Chemical equilibrium, e.g. equilibria of acids and bases. Intermolecular forces (chemical bonding) in gases, liquids, and solids. Colligative properties. Reaction kinetics: zero, first and second order kinetics. Activation energy and Arrhenius equation. The three laws of thermodynamics and the concepts enthalpy, entropy, and free energy. Electrochemistry. Some important elements and their properties. Three laboratory exercises illustrate important principles discussed in the course.
