Learning outcomes

The aim of the course is to acquire the main concepts of General Chemistry and some notions of Inorganic Chemistry.
At the end of the course the student must be able to solve problems regarding the General Chemistry, showing good reasoning skills and ability in the connection of different concepts. The course also aims to give to the student adequate means in order to deal with other courses, such as Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, etc...

In particular, the course is preparatory to the Organic Chemistry course.

Program

Introduction. Chemical and physical properties of matter and their measurements.
Elements, atoms and compounds.
Nomenclature of inorganic compounds.
Types of chemical reactions. Reaction stoichiometry.
Ideal and real gases.
Thermochemistry. Internal energy and enthalpy. Standard enthalpy of reaction and formation.
Atomic structure. Atomic orbitals. Electronic configuration, Aufbau principle.
Periodic properties: atomic and ionic radii, ionization energy, electron affinity, electronegativity.
Elementary notions on the ionic bond. Ionic compounds.
Covalent bond. Lewis formula. Resonance. Molecular geometry and polarity. Orbital hybridisation. Single and multiple bonds.
Interparticle forces.
Properties of liquids. Solutions. Binary liquid mixtures. Distillation.
Properties of solids.
Chemical kinetics. Arrhenius equation. Reaction mechanisms.
Chemical equilibrium. Equilibrium constant.
Acid-base equilibrium. Acid, base and salt solutions. Acid-base titration. Buffer solutions.
Solubility equilibrium.
Entropy. Spontaneous processes. Gibbs free energy. Standard free energy of reaction and formation.
Electrochemical cells. Electrolysis.

The course is made of 48 h of lectures

Examination Methods

The final examination consists of a written part (multiple choice test). The student will solve 30 questions regarding the whole programme: 1 point for each right answer, -0.2 for each wrong answer and 0 point for each missing or canceled answer. The final mark will be expressed in thirtieths. All students reaching the mark of 17 have the right to do an oral part, with the aim to obtain the final mark of 18.
These rules apply for attending students as well as non attending ones.
