| TFKI76 | General Chemistry, 4,5 ECTS-points /Allmän kemi/ Advancement level: B | |
| Aim: The aim of the course is to give fundamental knowledge in the following areas: the composition of matter, chemical reactions, reaction stoichiometry, atomic structure and the periodic table, the chemical bond and the structures of molecules. Thereby, the course gives a basis for further studies in chemistry and biology.Supplementary courses: TFKI77 Physical Chemistry, TFKI78 Inorganic Chemistry, TFKI79 Organic Chemistry.Course organization: The course consists of lectures, lessons and laborations. The lessons are used for exercises connected to the theory presented during the lectures.Course content: Theory:The properties of substances. Measurements. Elements and compounds. The mole. Precipitation, acid-base and redox reactions. Balancing reactions. The stoichiometry of reactions. Introduction to termochemistry. Light and spectroscopy. The structure of atoms and the periodic table of elements. Ionic and covalent bonds. Molecules: Lewis structures, the shapes of molecules, charge distribution, hybridization, molecular orbital theory. Laborations:Quantitative chemical analysis: acid-base, redox and complexometric titrations; spectrophotometry; atomic spectroscopy.Course literature: Ebbing-Gammon 6th ed.: General Chemistry .
