Course content
Chemical equilibrium: pH, weak acids, precipitation, solubility product, complexes, hydoxides vs. pH, combining equilibriua.
Heterogeneous equilibria: Gases, gas laws, partial pressures, gas solubility, standard states, activities.
Termochemistry: Enthalpy, heat capacity, Hess law, state functions, reaction enthalpy, standards state. 1. law.
Spontaneity: Entropy for system and universe, Gibbs energy, 2. and 3. laws, predicting K, van't Hoff, Clausius-Clapeyron.
Electrochemistry: Description and function of galvanic cells, concentrations cells, Nernst's equation from Gibbs, ampere yield, inert electrodes, electrolysis, combination of electrochemical reactions with other reaction, thermodynamic data and K from E.
Appl. electrochem: Corrosion, galvanic corrosion, calculation of passivity, effects of complexes, Pourbaix diagram.
Organic chemistry: Hydrocarbons (alifation, olefinic, aromatic), halides, O- and N- compounds, properties of main polymers, addition-. and condensation polymers, termopolymers and termosets, crosslinking.
Inorganic chemistry: Basic descriptive inorganic chemistry, periodic table vs. properties, electrochemistry, covalent, ionic and metallic bonds, molecules vs. network structures, solubility, polar and nonpolar solvents.
Learning outcome
The course aims at giving the students a basis for later chemistry related courses and for mastering chemistry related issues in technology.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and written excersises. 50% of exercises must be accepted. Three written examinations must also be passed for access to exam.
Compulsory assignments
- 3 tests
- Exercises
Further on evaluation
If there is a resit examination, the examination form may change from written to oral.
Specific conditions
Exam registration requires that class registration is approved in the same semester. Compulsory activities from previous semester may be approved by the department.
Recommended previous knowledge
A basic knowledge, equivalent to the first course in chemistry at Norwegian High Schools is recommended. You should know the most important elements and inorganic compounds, you should understand the meaning of chemical formulas and chemical reactions and understand the concepts of atom, molecule and mole. A good understanding of logarithms and exponentials is necessary.
Course materials
The curriculum is not linked to any textbook. A list of recommended books will be given, the ones by Zumdahl or Atins and Jones are the most popular ones. Aylward & Findlay: "SI chemical data" is required.
