Aim:
The aim of the course is to give a foundation in chemistry and a preparation for further university studies in technology and natural science. Completed course gives authority comparable with Chemistry 1. After completing the course, the student should:
- be able to plan and according to safety regulations perform some elementary chemical laboratory techniques, show some skill in theoretical analysis of experimental data and summon up the results in a laboratory report.
- be able to describe the electronic structure of atoms and molecules, different types of chemical bonding and the relationship between bonding and chemical properties.
- have knowledge of some common elements, chemical compounds and modern materials, their properties, occurrence and importance.
- be able to interpret, write and use formulas for compounds and reactions, perform basic stoichiometric calculations.
- be able to estimate enthalpy change in chemical reactions, use the concepts enthalpy and entropy to discuss the drive of chemical reactions.
- be able to use the concepts oxidation and reduction.
- have knowledge of the pH concept, neutralization, strong and weak acids and bases, buffers and pH control.
- have knowledge about methods for qualitative-and quantitative analysis.
