CHIM/03 - GENERAL AND INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

Period

1st Semester dal Oct 1, 2009 al Jan 31, 2010.

Learning outcomes

The goal of the course is to learn the main concepts of General Chemistry.

The following topics will be considered:
Chemical and physical phenomena. Fundamental laws of Chemistry. Atomic structure of matter. Periodic properties. Chemical reactions. Stoichiometry. Gases, solids, liquids. The chemical bond. Thermochemistry and thermodynamics. Phase diagrams and properties of solutions. Chemical kinetics. Chemical equilibrium. Equilibria in acqueous solutions. Electrochemistry.

The course should precede Organic Chemistry.
