| TFKE01 | General Chemistry, 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, chemical equilibrium, 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: TFKE05 Physical Chemistry, TFKE10 Inorganic Chemistry, TFKE15 Organic Chemistry, TFKE25 Biocemistry, TFKE30 Analytical 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. Gas laws. Chemical equilibrium. Light and spectroscopy. The structure of atoms and the periodic table of the elements. Ionic and covalent bonds. Molecules: Lewis structures, the shapes of molecules, charge distribution, hybridization, molecular orbital theory. Laborations: Quantitative chemical analysis based on titrations, spectrophotometry and atomic spectroscopy. Course literature: D.D. Ebbing: General Chemistry, Houghton Mifflin Company | ||
