PREREQUISITES
Chemistry A, 20p


COURSE AIM
Item 1. Inorganic chemistry
The course should give the students a fundamental knowledge of coordination chemistry, inorganic reaction teory and descriptive chemistry. The laboratory exercises covers inorganic reaction theory and qualitative inorganic analysis.
Item 2. Physical chemistry
After completion of the item, the student shall be able to:
- Understand and apply the thermodynamic laws
- Use chemical and electrochemical potentials practically
- Differentiate between the termodynamics in ideal and real systems
- Analytically discuss the kinetiks of chemical reactions
- Interpret basic surface and colloid concepts
- Understand the influence of the factors that determines the stability of colloids
