| TFKE10 | Inorganic Chemistry, ECTS-points /OORGANISK KEMI/ Advancement level: B | |
| Aim: The aim of the course is to give fundamental theoretical knowledge of as well as some practical laboratory experience in traditional and modern inorganic chemistry. Prerequisites: TFKE01 General chemistry, TFKE05 Physical chemistry Supplementary courses: TFKE15 Organic chemistry, TFKE25 Biochemistry, TFKE30 Analytical chemistry Course organization: The course consists of lectures, lessons and laboratory work. Course content: Theoretical part: weak and strong acids and bases and the corresponding Brönsted and Lewis definitions of, pH, acid-base equilibiria, titration curves for acids and bases, buffers, Henderson-Hasselbalchs equation, solubility and solubility products, complex-ion equilibria. Descriptive inorganic chemistry: properties of and chemical bonding in metals and non-metals. Crystalline and amorphous compounds. The concepts of crystal structure, lattice and unit cell. Applied inorganic chemistry (materials chemistry). Nuclear chemistry. Coordination compounds. The laboratory course includes, among other things, an acid-base titration, synthesis of zeolites and complexes, including the determination of the ligand field splitting of the latter by spectrophotometry.
